该项目设计和制造了几个具有传感，通信和爬壁功能的机器人传感器节点原型，使机器人智能传感器网络（RISE-NET）能够在3D空间中运行。分布式机器人的拟议工作包括智能传感，认知普及，以及无线通信对复杂的3D空间中的编队控制。该项目带来了以下期望：-新一代攀爬机器人采用的技术可能会将目前的移动的漫游车的2D世界转变为一个新的3D世界，并为机器人和传感器网络社区提供独特的测试平台。多模态传感和数据融合推动为具有挑战性的任务添加智能组件，例如城市目标识别，多模型远程听觉和移动平台的快速3D动态场景理解。智能机器和普适环境研究，引入普适HCI方法，通过多模态自然通信，智能显示和增强3D环境促进人在回路机器人智能传感器网络。更广泛的影响：PRISM中心的教育活动包括引入带有真实的搜索项目的新课程，围绕RISE-NET主题改革高级设计课程，启动学生机器人俱乐部和机器人竞赛，指导少数民族学生的研究项目。

This project, designing and fabricating several prototypes of robotized sensor nodes with sensing, communication, and wall-climbing capabilities, enables the Robotized Intelligent SEnsor NETworks (RISE-NET) to operate in 3D space. The proposed work on distributed robotics includes intelligent sensing, cognitive pervasiveness, and wireless communications towards formation control in complex 3D spaces. The project brings the following expectations:-Technology adopted in the new generation of climbing robots might transform the present 2D world of mobile rovers into a new 3D universe and produce unique previously not available test-beds for robotics and sensor network communities.-Multimodal sensing and data fusion thrust to add intelligent components for challenging tasks such as urban target recognition, multimodel remote hearing, and rapid 3D dynamic scene understanding from moving platforms.-Smart machine and pervasive environment research to bring in pervasive HCI methodologies that facilitate human-in-the-loop robotized intelligent sensor networks via multimodal natural communication, smart displays, and augmented 3D environments.-RISE-NET testbed (especially the wireless communication units) to enable evaluation and demonstration of the feasibility of communication research.Broader Impact: Educational activities at the PRISM center include introducing new courses with real search projects, reforming senior design courses around the RISE-NET theme, launching student robotics club and robot competition, and mentoring minority student research projects.
