By mirroring the success of biological systems, legged robots have the potential to be successful in almost every terrestrial environment. While legged machines have made significant advancements in the past 20 years, there still exists a considerable gap between what they can achieve and the abilities of animals. In this talk I’ll discuss some of […]

Planning fast and autonomous robotic motion in unstructured, cluttered environments remains a core challenge of the robotics community. The robot’s motion must be agile and dynamic, operating near the limit of its physical capabilities, to reach its goal location as quickly as possible. Fast motion in turn creates a need for fast plan computation over […]

Multi-robot coordination and cooperation are critical behaviors that improve team performance and enable new tasks in application areas like autonomous construction, agriculture, and extended operation in large unknown regions. This talk explores the utility of graph-based modeling and computational frameworks to improve the coordination and cooperation of multi-robot teams in a variety of problems. I […]
