ECEN Faculty Received Grants from Department of Defense (DoD) and National Science Foundation (NSF) on the Research of Intelligent Robots Dr. Rafael Fierro, an Assistant Professor of ECEN,
received two grants from Department of Defense (DoD) and National Science
Foundation (NSF). The DoD project is a collaborative effort with researchers
at University of Oklahoma. This project entitled “Adaptation and Learning at
All Levels in Intelligent Robots Teams for Reconnaissance, Surveillance and
Battlefield Assessment” will integrate key technologies like perception,
learning and hybrid control to create multi-vehicle systems to be used in
military information-gathering missions of the future. The NSF project
entitled “Hierarchical Hybrid Control of Multi-Vehicle Systems” considers
the problem of developing a software toolkit for modeling and control of
distributed multi-vehicle systems. A multi-vehicle system consists of a
collection of agents that interact with each other and with their
environment through sensors and actuators. There is an urgent need to
develop the methodologies for the analysis and design of complex
multi-vehicle systems. This project will provide the software and analytical
tools to alleviate this need.
