Martin Magnusson

Welcome!

I am a post-doc resercher working at the Learning Systems lab of AASS.

My main research is concerned with 3D range sensing. I have primarily investigated 3D scan registration and mobile-robot applications such as localisation and semantic analysis of 3D scenes.

Brief CV

I was born in Karlskoga, Sweden, in 1977. I received my undergraduate education in computer science at Uppsala University, interleaved with periods of work and play. I wrote my Master's thesis on the subject of hierarchical reinforcement learning for balancing a bipedal robot, and received my fil. mag. (M. Sc.) in computer science from Uppsala University in 2004.

Between 2004 and 2009, I have been an industrial graduate student at Örebro University in cooperation with Atlas Copco Rock Drills. The focus of my research has been the 3D normal-distributions transform and its applications for scan registration, surface analysis, and loop detection. I recently (December 2009) received a tekn. dr. (Ph. D.) degree from Örebro University.

I am currently involved in two projects together with Volvo Construction Equipment, with the target application being autonomous wheel loaders. One is the ALL-4-eHAM project, where we study methods for mobile-robot perception and navigation in dynamic outdoor environments, as well as methods for efficient autonomous handling of piled materials. The other project is concerned with active safety: making it possible for autonomous wheel loaders to operate in environments together with people.
