(DURIP) TESTBED FOR MULTIMODAL SENSOR CONFIGURATION, REAL-TIME ESTIMATION, AND OPTIMAL CONTROL IN AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS
Abstract
This project will develop an advanced testbed to support research and education related to the theory and computational methods of multimodal sensor configuration, real-time estimation, and optimal control. The proposed instrumentation, henceforth referred to as TRESCON (Testbed for Real-Time Estimation and Sensor Configuration) includes semi-permanent installations with motion cameras and projectors, mobile sensor platforms in the form of micro aerial vehicles, multipurpose mobile platforms in the form of wheeled vehicles and quad rotors), computer and data hardware, and supporting equipment. The team is composed of three investigators in WPI’s newly formed Aerospace Engineering Department. The PI and two co-PIs are actively engaged in these research areas through past, current, and pending grants from multiple DoD agencies. The TRESCON system will be used by the team to advance two thematically linked areas funded by the DoD through multiple grants to the PI and Co-PIs.
