My research interests include autonomous systems, aerial robotics, tele-robotics, human-machine interfaces (haptics), and broad applications of control systems and optimization in robotics, energy, and transportation systems. My current research focuses on the control of multi-agent robotic systems including aerial and ground-based vehicles. I am interested in developing control strategies for heterogeneous multi-agent systems, possibly including human operators, for use in a broad range of application such as search and rescue, disaster recovery, infrastructure maintenance and monitoring, transportation, mapping, and exploration.
In the past, our work in smart energy systems resulted in a number of new model-predictive control strategies for optimal operation of energy storage devices and renewable energy sources in smart grid environment. We have also developed advanced controllers for human-in-the-loop teleoperation of robotic manipulators. These controllers cover a wide range of system configurations from single-operator/single-robot systems to multiple-operator/multi-robot systems, bringing together human-in-the-loop and autonomous control of robotic systems.
