The growth of autonomous vehicles, ridesharing systems, and self driving technology will bring a shift in the way ride hailing platforms plan out their services. However, these advances in technology coupled with road congestion,…
Multi-agent systems (MAS) powered by Large Language Models (LLMs) have been demonstrated to push the boundaries of LLM capabilities, yet they often incur significant costs and face challenges in dynamic LLM selection. Current LLM routing…
When academic researchers develop and validate autonomous driving algorithms, there is a challenge in balancing high-performance capabilities with the cost and complexity of the vehicle platform. Much of today's research on autonomous…
We present the Light Augmented Reality System LARS as an open-source and cost-effective tool. LARS leverages light-projected visual scenes for indirect robot-robot and human-robot interaction through the real environment. It operates in…
We present an approach to experimental radar systems education based on a combination of commercial low-cost hardware with modern open-source software technologies. Following a discussion of the general top-level architecture of flexible,…
In this paper a mesoscopic hybrid model, i.e. a microscopic hybrid model that takes into account macroscopic parameters, is introduced for designing a human-inspired Adaptive Cruise Control. A control law is proposed with the design goal of…
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) increasingly rely on vision-based perception and learning-based control, necessitating experimental platforms that support realistic hardware-in-the-loop validation. Small-scale platforms for…
Real-world underwater testing for multi-agent autonomy presents substantial financial and engineering challenges. In this work, we introduce the Configurable Underwater Group of Autonomous Robots (CoUGARs) as a low-cost, configurable…
In applications such as search and rescue or disaster relief, heterogeneous multi-robot systems (MRS) can provide significant advantages for complex objectives that require a suite of capabilities. However, within these application spaces,…
Autonomous racing has gained increasing attention in recent years, as a safe environment to accelerate the development of motion planning and control methods for autonomous driving. Deep learning models, predominantly based on neural…
OpenPodcar2 is a robust, ROS2-interfaced, low-cost, open source hardware and software, autonomous vehicle platform based on an off-the-shelf, hard-canopy, mobility scooter donor vehicle. It is a modification of the previous OpenPodcar…
The aim of this work is to offer an overview of the research questions, solutions, and challenges faced by the project aColor ("Autonomous and Collaborative Offshore Robotics"). This initiative incorporates three different research areas,…
In recent years, there is an increasing interest in high school robotics extracurriculars such as robotics clubs and robotics competitions. The growing demand is a result of more ubiquitous open-source software and affordable off-the-shelf…
The CISRU project has focused on the development of a software suite for planetary (and terrestrial) robotics, fully abstracted from the robotic platform and enabling interaction between rovers and astronauts in complex tasks and…
We present M, an open-source, low-cost social robot platform designed to reduce platform friction that slows social robotics research by making robots easier to reproduce, modify, and deploy in real-world settings. M combines a modular…
Magnetic navigation systems, including magnetic tracking systems and magnetic actuation systems, have shown great potential for occlusion-free localization and remote control of intracorporeal medical devices and robots in minimally…
