Equipment Support for Multi-Human Multi-Robot Interactions
Abstract
This equipment grant requested support to purchasing essential instrumentation to pursue novel research related to capturing, modeling, and simulation of interactions between multiple humans and robots in a shared physical environment. This project will involve development of novel techniques for autonomous navigation of multiple robots among human crowds as well as performing collaborative robot-human tasks. The underlying research will lay the scientific foundation of a new area related to multi-human, multi-robot interaction. Furthermore, the high-end workstations with multiple CPUs and GPUs will also support our current research on computational acoustics and physics-based simulation. This equipment will also support the ongoing research under the following funded projects by Army Research Office (ARO), and will be used in our joint collaborative projects with Army Research Laboratory (ARL), United State Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), and Institute of Creative Technologies (ICT).The equipment used in this project was used to support research in robotics, physically-based modeling and virtual environments. The equipment was used by more than 20 graduate students and 3 faculty members. This resulted in more than 15 publications in the leading conferences and journals.
