At the University of Michigan, he developed AprilTag, a two-dimensional barcode-based fiducial marker system for visual localization and mapping. Olson has also contributed to autonomous driving software. He co-developed the Multi-Policy Decision Making (MPDM) framework, which enables autonomous vehicles to simulate and evaluate numerous possible trajectories in real-time, facilitating adaptive driving behaviors in dynamic environments. ==Selected publications== - selected as a Google Scholar "classic paper" in the robotics field ==External links==
