Please note that this project is only for undergraduate students.
Supervisor:
Dr Changbin (Brad) YuOutline:
Inspired from biological swarms of bees, birds, ants, fish, etc., many researchers today study efficient coordination of teams of aerial, ground and underwater vehicles for various cooperative missions. A typical mission may involve forming a certain team structure (formation), maintaining or changing such a formation, intelligent guidance for cohesive motion of the whole team, etc. without a master device to drive the vehicles in the team. Efficient coordination of vehicles in such missions has various defence and civil applications.
Goals of this project
This project aims to bring the Multi-agent-system(MAS) research further to study the interaction and coordination of multiple robots and multiple human. We will develop a testbed consisting of 2 Wifibots, 1 Human operator with wearable computers and HMD and a quadrotor UAV.
The student will normally develop algorithms in Matlab and verify with Gazebo Simulator or USARSim Simulator before implementation.
Requirements/Prerequisites
For all students:
Interested students should be proficient in programming in Matlab and C++ and is comfortable working under Linux.
Coursework subjects such as Computer Vision and Robotics will be a plus.
Background Literature
Google "Mobile Sensor Network", "Robotic SWARM"
