Optimized Algorithms for Prediction Within Robotic Tele-Operative Interfaces

Robonaut, the humanoid robot developed at the Dexterous Robotics Laboratory at NASA Johnson Space Center serves as a testbed for human-robot collaboration research and development efforts. One of the recent efforts investigates how adjustable autonomy can provide for a safe and more effective completion of manipulation-based tasks. A predictive algorithm developed in previous work was deployed ...

Low-cost robotic sensor networks platform for air quality monitoring

Building robotic sensor networks (RSNs) for air quality monitoring application is a challenging frontier for robotic research. Such systems must operate for extended periods of time in unstructured and complex domains. The implementation requires addressing numerous issues at the systems level such as energy efficiency, planning, and controlling robots’ trajectories for achieving robust operati...

Developing a Tele-robotic Platform for Bridge Inspection

Fabrication of low cost in-house slab homogeneous and heterogeneous phantoms for lung radiation treatment

Background: The heterogeneous composition of the human body presents numerous tissue types and cavities with widely differing radiologic properties. The aim of the present work was to develop a low cost homogeneous and heterogeneous phantom and the absorbed dose were measured by ionization chamber for different radiotherapy treatment techniques and compared with treatment planning syst...
