The goal of this research is to provide a new and novel formal framework
for the analysis of probabilistic and behavior-based robotic algorithms for
both single and multirobot applications. The resulting methods and tools
will provide a basis for establishing guarantees of performance of these
algorithms in complex real-world environmental situations, which is crucial
for the critical real-time real-world needs of C-WMD search, analysis, and
recovery tasks. We cannot assume the luxury of a do-over; we must get it
right the first time.
Specifically, the Mobile Robot Laboratory is focusing on:
- Scenario development
for C-WMD application in conjunction with NIST testbed environment
- Experimental
evaluation procedures and metric development for both simulation and
robotic experimentation
- MissionLab
development to accommodate new theoretical framework provided by
Fordham
This research is funded by DTRA, the Defense
Threat Reduction Agency, and is a collaboration between Georgia Tech's
Mobile Robot Lab and Fordham University's Robotics and Computer Vision Lab.
