Welcome to my home page! Most of this site details my
teaching and research in mobile robots, multi-robot
systems, social networks in robotics, autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and
intelligent vehicles.
I am now running a new program called the International Computer Engineering Experience (ICEX). This year's trip will bring 5 students to investigate Maltese cisterns (ancient water storage systems), while utilizing underwater robots. Please see the ICEX and Malta Cistern Mapping sites for more information. This project was recently featured on the local news staton.
I am also working with biologists on the NORUS project - a partnership between Cal Poly, Rutgers and Norweigan Universities (NTNU and UNIS) with the goal of developing technology for marine monitoring and ocean observations. Current plans include studying ecological systems in the Arctic. Please see the NORUS site for details.
