Our research group studies autonomous and semi-autonomous
systems, with a special emphasis on aerospace applications,
formation flying satellites, nonlinear estimation theory,
cooperative estimation and control, and structural dynamics
and control.
Sponsor:
AFOSR with the Insitu Group |

Target tracking
for single and multiple UAV’s. Stationary/moving
targets. Visible and IR cameras. Cooperative
planning. |
|
|
Operator decision
models for users controlling multiple vehicles.
Hybrid models with probabilistic transitions.
AFRL Human Effectiveness Directorate led experiments
with AFRL subject pool. |

|
On-line 3D models
of an environment to a given probability. Real
time, decentralized particle filters, co-evolutionary
identification |
