Distributed Systems
Laboratory
The goal of the project is to develop real-time capable (assured,
not just probablisitc) middleware, based on RTI Data Distribution Service, thus adding
determinism to RTI Data Distribution Service implementation. Duration: about 2years.
Results of the thesis, such as installed RTI Data Distribution Service implementation,
will be used in education in "Distributed embedded systems"
courses. |

Systems and Controls Group
The Systems and Control group has designed and built several
prototypes of service and mobile robots such for inspections
of industrial plants, and surface inspections. Currently, they
are building two kinds of mobile robots for exploration in hazardous
environments like volcanoes. They are using Constellation to
develop the real-time motion control, telemetry and teleoperation
algorithms for these mobile robots.

Real-time Embedded Systems Lab
The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering has developed
a certificate program in Embedded Systems. The Real-Time Embedded
Systems course requires students to develop embedded subsystems
typically used in robotics and multi-media applications including:
mobile computer vision platforms for target peak-up/tracking,
ranging, and navigation; robotic arm/manipulator control; and
digital video/audio encode/decode and network transport. RTI
tools are used by students in these courses to design, implement,
and analyze real-time embedded systems.

Visual Computing Lab
Human exploration and development of space will demand a heavy
extravehicular activity (EVA) workload from a small number of
crew members. In order to alleviate the astronaut workload robots
remotely working with teleoperated control are currently being
developed at NASA - Johnson Space Center. One such telerobot
is the ROBONAUT (ROBOtic astroNAUT), which is an anthropomorphic
robot with two arms, two hands, a head, a torso and a stabilizing
leg. One more intuitive way to teleoperate the ROBONAUT than
just using a joystick is to estimate the three-dimensional motion
of the teleoperator's body parts (e.g., head, arms, torso, and
legs) and then use the estimated motion to control the ROBONAUT.
In such a system, the robot imitates the movements made by a
teleoperator. As the teleoperator reaches out an arm, so does
the ROBONAUT. And if the teleoperator starts twisting a screwdriver,
the ROBONAUT should copy the action down to the slightest movement.
Currently, the off-the-shelf systems for human motion estimation
are very obtrusive and encumbering because they attached devices
such as skeletons, electromagnetic sensors or markers to the
operator. Our goal is to develop a non obtrusive system for
human motion estimation from a monocular image sequence for
teleoperation of ROBONAUT. In this stage of our project we would
like to command the ROBONAUT with the output of our human motion
estimation algorithm.

Coordinated Science
Lab
This project focuses on the fundamental research in nonlinear
control of mechanical systems. The motivation for this work
comes from two application areas: autonomous navigation of underwater
and aerospace vehicles, and locomotion for hybrid robotic mechanisms.
