Laser Tracking Project

The purpose of this project is to use laser range finders and RFID tags to track a group of monkeys in an arena. The laser range finders provide accurate localization, while the RFID tags send a unique signal. With this project, we attempt to combine these technologies to provide accurately localized, uniquely identified tracks. Along the way, we conduct experiments on other agents, including humans, in various settings.
