• Undergraduate Research Assistant Needed: Motion Strategy and Virtual Reality Laboratory

  Jan 27, 2017 11:00 am58 views

  Project Description: There are two possible projects - (i) designing and implementing robotic swarms with high-level specifications on their dynamics. The focus is on quantifying the sensing/actuation/computational requirements needed to generate different swarm dynamics. (ii) developing high-level, verifiable specification languages for the design and control of robotic systems, eventually contributing to ROS (Robot Operating System).

  The focus of both projects is on simple mobile robots for personal/household use.

  Applicants should review these publications to get a sense of related research: http://msl.cs.illinois.edu/~lavalle/papers.html
