  • Topologically-Guided Robotic Information Gathering

    Creator:
    McCammon, Seth
    Abstract:
    Information gathering tasks, such as terrestrial search and rescue, aerial inspection, and marine monitoring, require robotic unmanned systems to make decisions on how to travel within an environment to maximize or minimize a path-dependent information objective function. The distribution of information throughout the environment is the result of various processes,...

  • Geometry of Locomotion

    Creator:
    Ramasamy, Suresh
    Abstract:
    Many animals and robots move through the world by coupling cyclical changes in shape called gaits to an interaction with the environment. Because mobility is an important aspect of such robots, a key metric when evaluating design and performance of mobile robots is the efficiency of their optimal gaits. The...

  • Counterfactual thinking applied to multiagent systems

    Creator:
    Zerbel, Nicholas
    Abstract:
    Multiagent approaches are well suited to designing autonomous solutions for systems that feature complex interactions between many individuals such as in autonomous traffic systems and multi-robot exploration systems. However, creating autonomous agents that function effectively in these systems is a challenging task. In these complex environments, agents need informative reward...

  • Geometric Motion Planning for Inertial Systems

    Creator:
    Faraji, Hossein
    Abstract:
    In order to enable better visualization and understanding of the effect of the robot's geometry and inertia on the robot's trajectories, this dissertation proposes to use geometric mechanics to bridge the gap between the physical motion of a robot and its mathematical structure. The main focus of this research is...
