Estimating Infinite-Dimensional Continuum Robot States From the Tip
Tongjia Zheng, Ciera McFarland, Margaret Coad +1
Knowing the state of a robot is critical for many problems, such as feedback control. For continuum robots, state estimation is an incredible challenge. First, the motion of a cont…
Learning Evacuee Models from Robot-Guided Emergency Evacuation Experiments
Mollik Nayyar, Ghanghoon Paik, Zhenyuan Yuan +4
Recent research has examined the possibility of using robots to guide evacuees to safe exits during emergencies. Yet, there are many factors that can impact a person's decision to…
Stable Real-Time Feedback Control of a Pneumatic Soft Robot
Sean Even, Tongjia Zheng, Hai Lin +1
Soft actuators offer compliant and safe interaction with an unstructured environment compared to their rigid counterparts. However, control of these systems is often challenging be…
Multi-Robot-Guided Crowd Evacuation: Two-Scale Modeling and Control
Tongjia Zheng, Zhenyuan Yuan, Mollik Nayyar +3
Emergency evacuation describes a complex situation involving time-critical decision-making by evacuees. Mobile robots are being actively explored as a potential solution to provide…
Multi-Robot-Assisted Human Crowd Evacuation using Navigation Velocity Fields
Tongjia Zheng, Zhenyuan Yuan, Mollik Nayyar +3
This work studies a robot-assisted crowd evacuation problem where we control a small group of robots to guide a large human crowd to safe locations. The challenge lies in how to mo…
