The Atlantis Project: A GPS-Guided Wing-Sailed Autonomous Catamaran

An autonomous catamaran, based on a modified Prindle-19 day-sailing Catamaran, was built to test the viability of GPS-based system identification for precision control. The catamaran was fitted with several sensors and actuators to characterize the dynamics. Using an electric trolling motor, and lead ballast to match all-up weight, several system identification passes were performed to excite s...

Designing Frugal Best-Response Mechanisms for Social Network Coordination Games

Social coordination games have recently received a lot of attention since they model several kinds of interaction problems in social networks. However, the performance of these games at equilibrium may be very bad. This motivates the adoption of mechanisms for inducing a socially optimal state. In this work we consider the design of incentive-compatible best-response mechanisms (Nisan, Schapira...
