PROGRAM DIRECTOR'S RECOMMEMNDATIONIIP 0934373University of Alabama (Outreach Project)AndersonThe PI proposes to cooperate with an existing I/UCRC, the Cooperative Research Center for Safety, Security and Rescue Research (SSR-RC) at the University of Minnesota, for research and outreach activities at the University of Alabama. Specifically, as the Director of Distributed Robotics Lab, the PI proposes to investigate a unified platform that will enable inputs from a human via an Android-based graphical controller to coordinate and control a team of cooperative UAVs. The intellectual merit of the proposal involves the development of an algorithm for real time development of optimal quality of service solutions based upon the robot's current state and goal. If the algorithm is cooperative it would also enable multi-robot collaboration. The proposal seeks to advance this research issue through extensive physics-based simulation. The broadest area of impact of this proposed work is the likely advances in multi-robot cooperation research, which will have clear benefits to society in disaster situations where time is of the essence. In addition, the plan that all development will be in standard languages using open source libraries and off-the-shelf operating systems increases the likelihood that others will be able to build from this work. The proposal also presents plans for actively recruiting minority and female students in the PI's laboratory. The proposed research will arguably promote collaboration between the PI's institution and several military centers.

项目总监推荐IIP 0934373 阿拉巴马大学（外展项目）AndersonPI 建议与现有的 I/UCRC、明尼苏达大学安全、安保和救援研究合作研究中心 (SSR-RC) 合作，在阿拉巴马大学开展研究和外展活动。具体来说，作为分布式机器人实验室的主任，PI 建议研究一个统一的平台，该平台将允许人类通过基于 Android 的图形控制器进行输入，以协调和控制一组协作无人机。该提案的智力价值涉及开发一种算法，用于根据机器人的当前状态和目标实时开发最佳服务质量解决方案。如果算法是协作的，它也将能够实现多机器人协作。该提案旨在通过广泛的基于物理的模拟来推进这一研究问题。这项拟议工作影响最广泛的领域是多机器人合作研究可能取得的进展，这将在时间至关重要的灾难情况下为社会带来明显的好处。此外，所有开发都将使用开源库和现成操作系统的标准语言进行的计划增加了其他人能够从这项工作中进行构建的可能性。该提案还提出了在 PI 实验室中积极招募少数族裔和女性学生的计划。拟议的研究可以说将促进 PI 机构与几个军事中心之间的合作。
