Resolving Contentions for Complex Control Systems with Shared Resources using Robust Model Predictive Control

Sponsor: NSF

This research project would develop transformative control techniques to co-design scheduling and control strategies for complex cyber physical human systems (CPHSs) with coupled shared resources, which can be implemented in real-time… read more

Scheduling self-driving vehicles at traffic intersections

Sponsor: ONR

This project aims to build robotic agents that can robustly operate in dynamic and contested environments using sensor-actuator pairs that are distributed in the system. We are also participating in theย Defend The Republic robotic blimp competition, which is a Navy sponsored aerial soccer-game type competition. The last competition was hosted at Eagle Bank Arena on April 24-28, 2023 and was featured on Fox 5 and NBC 4 Newsread more
