My research area covers multi-robot systems coordination/cooperation, high-level robotic planning/control, and various applications in unmanned systems. I have research interests and expertise in designing the cooperative information gathering in the Markov process-based receding horizon framework. My research also covers distributed multi-agent systems using information and game-theoretic perspectives for communication awareness and sensor data fusion.
Communication-Aware Robotic INformation Gathering (CARING) is my current research theme. It includes:
-
global & local utility design and distributed optimization that captures communication-aware informative perspectives and has admissible team performance bounds,
-
neighbors & non-neighbors decision coordination of distributed optimization under limited communication, and
-
communication-aware information measure with non-linear/non-Gaussian properties for targets’ uncertainty.
