VRChain: A Blockchain-Enabled Framework for Visual Homing and Navigation Robots
Mohamed Rahouti, Damian Lyons, Lesther Santana
Visual homing is a lightweight approach to robot visual navigation. Based upon stored visual information of a home location, the navigation back to this location can be accomplishe…
Wall Detection Via IMU Data Classification In Autonomous Quadcopters
Jason Hughes, Damian Lyons
An autonomous drone flying near obstacles needs to be able to detect and avoid the obstacles or it will collide with them. In prior work, drones can detect and avoid walls using da…
Evaluating the Potential of Drone Swarms in Nonverbal HRI Communication
Kasper Grispino, Damian Lyons, Truong-Huy Nguyen
Human-to-human communications are enriched with affects and emotions, conveyed, and perceived through both verbal and nonverbal communication. It is our thesis that drone swarms ca…
Using Taint Analysis and Reinforcement Learning (TARL) to Repair Autonomous Robot Software
D. M. Lyons, S. Zahra
It is important to be able to establish formal performance bounds for autonomous systems. However, formal verification techniques require a model of the environment in which the sy…
A Monte Carlo Approach to Closing the Reality Gap
Damian Lyons, James Finocchiaro, Michael Novitzky +1
We propose a novel approach to the 'reality gap' problem, i.e., modifying a robot simulation so that its performance becomes more similar to observed real world phenomena. This pro…
Towards Lakosian Multilingual Software Design Principles
Damian M. Lyons, Saba B. Zahra, Thomas M. Marshall
Large software systems often comprise programs written in different programming languages. In the case when cross-language interoperability is accomplished with a Foreign Function…
