MRI/RUI - Aquisition of robotics equipment for an Intelligent Systems Laboratory

该项目为智能系统实验室(ISL)采购机器人设备，旨在促进跨学科课程的发展，并提供令人兴奋的研究可能性。ISL提供了与其他学科联合合作的机会，使学生和教职员工能够使用源自人工智能各个子学科的非传统技术来调查、设计和实施控制算法，如模糊逻辑、神经网络、遗传算法、混合方法。ISL促进独立合作的自主或远程操作移动机器人的研究和开发，以执行各种任务，如从潜在危险环境收集数据和促进搜索和救援任务。受恐怖袭击的激励，确定的研究领域包括：设计和部署用于生物监视和威胁检测的智能代理，以及设计和实施用于软计算、复杂性分析和智能应用的大规模混合系统工具。将获得机器人套件，促进不同学术水平的研究、研究培训和综合研究/教育活动。将开发新的跨学科课程，并将其交叉列入机器智能、智能系统、设计与应用、智能控制和自主机器人。此外，初中机器人夏令营Girls SRC将招募参与者。

This project, acquiring robotics equipment for an Intelligent Systems Laboratory (ISL), aims at facilitating the development of cross-disciplinary courses and providing exciting research possibilities. Furnishing opportunities of joint collaborations with other disciplines, ISL enables students and faculty to investigate, design, and implement control algorithms using non-traditional techniques derived from various subdisciplines of Artificial Intelligence, such as fuzzy logic, neural networks, genetic algorithms, hybrid approaches. ISL fosters research and development of solitary cooperating autonomous or teleoperative mobile robots for a variety of tasks such as gathering data from potentially hazardous environments and facilitating search and rescue missions.Areas identified for research, motivated by terrorist attacks, include: Design and deployment of intelligent agents for bio-surveillance and threat detection, and Design and implementation of large-scale hybrid systems tools for soft computing, complexity analysis, and intelligent applications.Robotics kits will be acquired, facilitating research, research training, and integrated research/education activities at various academic levels. New interdisciplinary courses will be developed and cross-listed in Machine Intelligence, Intelligent Systems, Design and Applications, Intelligent Control, and Autonomous Robots. Moreover, participants will be recruited for Girls SRC, a Summer Robotics Camp for junior high school.
