Towards Understanding Underwater Weather Events in Rivers Using Autonomous Surface Vehicles
Alice K. Li, Yue Mao, Sandeep Manjanna +10
Climate change has increased the frequency and severity of extreme weather events such as hurricanes and winter storms. The complex interplay of floods with tides, runoff, and sedi…
Stochastic Nonlinear Ensemble Modeling and Control for Robot Team Environmental Monitoring
Victoria Edwards, Thales C. Silva, M. Ani Hsieh
We seek methods to model, control, and analyze robot teams performing environmental monitoring tasks. During environmental monitoring, the goal is to have teams of robots collect v…
Proportional Control for Stochastic Regulation on Allocation of Multi-Robots
Thales C. Silva, Victoria Edwards, M. Ani Hsieh
Any strategy used to distribute a robot ensemble over a set of sequential tasks is subject to inaccuracy due to robot-level uncertainties and environmental influences on the robots…
Learning and Leveraging Features in Flow-Like Environments to Improve Situational Awareness
Tahiya Salam, Victoria Edwards, M. Ani Hsieh
This paper studies how global dynamics and knowledge of high-level features can inform decision-making for robots in flow-like environments. Specifically, we investigate how cohere…
Interacting Swarm Sensing and Stabilization
Ira B. Schwartz, Victoria Edwards, Jason Hindes
Swarming behavior, where coherent motion emerges from the interactions of many mobile agents, is ubiquitous in physics and biology. Moreover, there are many efforts to replicate sw…
Critical transition for colliding swarms
Jason Hindes, Victoria Edwards, M. Ani Hsieh +1
Swarming patterns that emerge from the interaction of many mobile agents are a subject of great interest in fields ranging from biology to physics and robotics. In some application…
Stability of milling patterns in self-propelled swarms on surfaces
Jason Hindes, Victoria Edwards, Sayomi Kamimoto +2
In some physical and biological swarms, agents effectively move and interact along curved surfaces. The associated constraints and symmetries can affect collective-motion patterns,…
Establishing Reliable Robot Behavior using Capability Analysis Tables
Victoria Edwards, Loy McGuire, Signe Redfield
Robots are often so complex that one person may not know all the ins and outs of the system. Inheriting software and hardware infrastructure with limited documentation and/or pract…
Torus bifurcations of large-scale swarms having range dependent communication delay
Ira B Schwartz, Victoria Edwards, Sayomi Kamimoto +4
Dynamical emergent patterns of swarms are now fairly well established in nature, and include flocking and rotational states. Recently, there has been great interest in engineering…
Delay Induced Swarm Pattern Bifurcations in Mixed Reality Experiments
Victoria Edwards, Philip deZonia, M. Ani Hsieh +3
Swarms of coupled mobile agents subject to inter-agent wireless communication delays are known to exhibit multiple dynamic patterns in space that depend on the strength of the inte…
Unstable oscillations and bistability in delay-coupled swarms
Jason Hindes, Victoria Edwards, Sayomi Kamimoto +2
It is known from both theory and experiments that introducing time delays into the communication network of mobile-agent swarms produces coherent rotational patterns. Often such sp…
