I am a roboticist. I research how to enable multiple robots to collaborate with each other in a distributed way and to flexibly interact with any humans, in any situation, anywhere. To do so, I combine the practical and theoretical for maximal impact, and the scope of my research has spanned robotic fundamentals to robot development, as well as system design and integration of robotics technology and algorithms. My research focuses on:
Topics of my research include Distributed control, formation control, bio-inspired swarm robots, robotic sensor networks, multi-agent systems, networked robotics, search-and-rescue robots, unmanned aerial/surface/underwater vehicles, cyber-physical systems, accessibility.
