Past Projects

MoBIES (George Pappas)

The project objective is to develop a methodology and toolkit for design of embedded software for multi-agent communicating hybrid systems. The methodology will cover various design stages, including modeling, simulation, analysis, implementation, and monitoring.

Blimp Project (Vijay Kumar)

The Blimp Project is designed to study the control and motion planning of a free-flying robot using image based control.

MEMS (G. K. Ananthasuresh)

Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) is a fast growing multi-disciplinary field. Many researchers around the world are developing new micromachining techniques and a wide rage of MEMS devices. There is already a perceivable need for CAD tools to aid MEMS designers.

Image Analysis of Brain Structure and Function (James Gee)

Our research addresses formal and methodological issues in the representation and analysis of complex patterns and systems. The mathematical approach, in which we seek to integrate elements from pattern analysis and probability theory.

All Terrain Wheelchairs (Vijay Kumar)

Motorized wheelchairs with sophisticated controls are available today, but they are still restricted to operate on smooth and prepared surfaces. Most are unable to surmount common obstacles like steps and curbs.

Reverse Engineering

Our goal is to automatically acquire 3D CAD models of arbitrarily shaped objects like engine parts, clay models, one-of-a-kind relics, manufactured parts, limbs, and anything else anybody would like a CAD model of.

Virtual Prototyping of Rehabilitation Aids (Vijay Kumar)

We present a paradigm for the customized design and virtual prototyping of one-of-a-kind products that require physical interaction with the human user. The methodology is exemplified in the creation of one-of-a-kind rehabilitation assistive devices for individuals with physical disabilities.

Image Processing: The Steerable Pyramid (Eero P. Simoncelli)

The Steerable Pyramid is a linear multi-scale, multi-orientation image decomposition that provides a useful front-end for many computer vision and image-processing applications.
