Current Projects [Past Projects]
		Autonomous Driving Motion Planning The goal of this project is to develop efficient, high-performance motion planning methodologies for highway and urban autonomous driving.
		Autonomous Vehicle Safety Verification This project investigates safety verification of autonomous driving behaviors.
		Cooperative Robotic Watercraft This project's vision is to have large numbers of very inexpensive airboats provide situational awareness and deliver critical emergency supplies to flood victims.
		Monitoring of Coastal Ocean Processes This project is attempting to elucidate the basic principles governing environmental field model synthesis based on the integration of adaptive robot sampling with human decision-making
		Robot Sensor Boat (RSB) We present a fleet of autonomous Robot Sensor Boats (RSBs) developed for lake and river fresh water quality assessment and controlled by our Multilevel Autonomy Robot Telesupervision Architecture (MARTA).
		Robust Autonomous Freeway Driving Behaviors The goal of this project is to develop robust autonomous freeway driving behaviors that include: distance keeping handling entrance ramps; high-density traffic lane selection and merging; reasoning about sensor confidence, degradation, and failure; and accommodation of human-in-the-loop interaction.
