Networked Robotics: From Multi-Robot Systems
to Wireless Sensor Networks

Mauldin Auditorium (NSH 1305)
Refreshments 3:15 pm
Talk 3:30 pm
The emergence of
wireless technology has altered robotics. Examples include systems we (and
others) have built to solve problems in distributed robotics (e.g.
localization, coverage, navigation, task allocation) using a network of
sensors. I will discuss the algorithms we have devised for some of these tasks,
and their characterization. I will argue that robotics can potentially alter
the way wireless sensor networks are deployed, maintained, repaired, and
replenished, illustrating once again with experimental systems we have built in
the lab.
Dr. Gaurav
Sukhatme is an Assistant Professor in the Computer
Science Department at the University
of Southern California
and the Co-director of the Robotics Research Lab. He received a Ph.D. in Computer Science from USC
in 1997. His research interests lie in distributed robotics and sensor-actuator
networks. He has served as PI on several NSF, DARPA and NASA grants and is a
2002 NSF CAREER awardee.
