The Robotics Institute

My research interests focus on multi-robot systems that operate in adversarial environments. My main interests relate to

• Robust, high performance, multi-robot control architectures for autonomy
  
• Integration between hardware and software and its relationship to robustness and performance
  
• Techniques for autonomous robot behavior in adversarial environments
  
• Techniques for adaptable individual and team behavior in adversarial environments
  
• Methods for practical, real-time robot vision
  

I am also involved in the following SCS project:

• The Robot Soccer Project
  
• The CORAL research group
  
• Robot Segway project - Building autonomous robots from dynamically balancing Segway RMP platforms.
  
• Small-Size Robot Soccer - Building heterogeneous teams of autonomous robots for dynamic, adversarial tasks.
  
• Treasure Hunt - Heterogeneous robot and human teams for exploration and retrieval of special interest objects
  
• Autonomous Air Vehicle Collaboration - This project looks at coordinating teams of UAVs to perform complex missions.
  
• Aiding driver safety - This project looks at techniques to learn maps from low cost sensors to aid in driver safety predictions
  

• I help run the robotics machine shop. Follow the link to obtain information on access to the shop, courses etc.
• I am an executive for the small-size league for the RoboCup Federation
• I am running the Robotics Institute seminars for 2004.
