It is amazing t o observe study of sensor equipped cyber cockroaches since the past few ye ars.\n\nBiobot project aims to develop a mobile sensor network where insec ts are used as mobile biological-robotic (biobotic) nodes. It is very inte resting to note that a cyber-physical communication network established be tween the insects using RF links\, along with the neuromuscular stimulatio n system to direct the control of the insects.\n\nPer NSF\, Autonomous nav igation in unknown and dynamic environments has been a major challenge for synthetic mobile robotic agents. On the other hand\, insects can easily s olve such complex navigational problems and demonstrate remarkably stable and optimized locomotion skills in almost any environment. The derived inf ormation like pose estimation of biobot agents are used in solving complex problems of life.\n\nPlease read more about NSF awarded Cinema Project be low:\n\nhttps://nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=1239243\n\nARoS lab f ocuses on the development of tools for the fields of pattern recognition\, estimation theory\, and statistical and topological data analysis in orde r to solve problems in the areas of wearable health and environmental moni toring\, robotics and computer vision.\n\nSpeaker Information:\n\nJeremy C ole is a graduate research assistant and a 4th year PhD student\, receivin g his Bachelor and Master degrees at NC State. Jeremy has worked on motion planning for steerable medical needles and am currently interested in nav igation for swarm-based systems.
