Wireless Network Test-bed of Multi-layered Multi-modal Sensor Fusion for Detection, Classification, and Tracking of Mobile Targets
Abstract
The Pennsylvania State University has developed the (wireless) Networked Robotic Systems Laboratory (NRSL) under several Defense University Instrumentation Program (DURIP) grants. The objective is to experimentally validate the results of theoretical research on mathematics of anomalous behavior in sensor-network-based miniature multimodal mobile robots and electromechanical systems. The procured instrumentation has augmented the existing Networked Robotic Systems Laboratory (NRSL) (web address: http://nrsl.mne.psu.edu/) that has served previous Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) projects (ARO Grant Nos. DAAD19-01-1-0646 and W911NF-07-1-0376) for sensor fusion research on networked robotic platforms. The research instrumentation has also supported the activities of an Army Research Laboratory (ARL) project (Grant No. W911NF-14-2-0068) and other ongoing DoD research projects at Penn State, such as AFOSR Grant Nos. FA9550-12-1-0270 and FA9550-15-1-0400 as well as an ONR project (Grant No. N00014-14-1-0545). The instrumentation equipment procured under the 2015 DURIP grant interfaces with those of the 2013 DURIP and earlier DURIP grant equipment and other existing facilities of Pennsylvania State University (PSU). The individual units of NRSL are interconnected over an internet and are supplemented with a wireless network of stationary and mobile processing platforms to analyze the effects of failure propagation in networked complex systems.
