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

该项目为智能系统实验室（ISL）购买机器人设备，旨在促进跨学科课程的开发，并提供令人兴奋的研究可能性。ISL提供与其他学科联合合作的机会，使学生和教师能够使用来自人工智能各个子学科的非传统技术来研究，设计和实现控制算法，如模糊逻辑，神经网络，遗传算法，混合方法。ISL促进研究和开发独立合作的自主或远程操作的移动的机器人，用于各种任务，例如从潜在危险环境中收集数据，并促进搜索和救援任务。确定的研究领域，以恐怖袭击为动机，包括：设计和部署生物监视和威胁检测智能代理，设计和实现用于软计算、复杂性分析和智能应用的大规模混合系统工具。将获得机器人工具包，以促进各种学术水平的研究、研究培训和综合研究/教育活动。新的跨学科课程将在机器智能，智能系统，设计和应用，智能控制和自主机器人中开发和交叉上市。此外，参加者将被招募为女孩SRC，初中夏季机器人夏令营。

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.
