BIO:

For pioneering researcher Ruzena Bajcsy, fostering cutting-edge technology to improve people's lives is a noble challenge. Dr. Bajcsy took the helm at CITRIS in November 2001, after devoting more than 30 years of her life to research in the fields of robotics, artificial intelligence and machine perception. Bajcsy's credentials reach across the traditionally discrete fields of neuroscience, applied mechanics and computer science. She is a member of both the National Academy of Engineering and the Institute of Medicine, a distinction few people can match.

Visible to the public Panel Presentation: Challenges to Autonomy Organizational Perspective

Submitted by ygawdiak on Wed, 10/03/2012 - 1:17pm. Contributor:

Summarizes the OV-4 mappings developed by the Joint Planning & Development Office that tracks and supports the coordination of the UAS community by stakeholder types. Provides a perspective of the number of different requirement sets that can co-exist just within a community. Lastly, even though the mapping does a commendable job of addressing the direct UAS community the briefing highlights that coordination/mapping is missing other related communities that are related by the Cyber Physical System commonalities.

Abstract

Wireless networks are increasingly used in networked control systems. An important challenge is to provide delay guarantees for every packet in the system. In this work, we propose a framework for real-time wireless networks. The core of this framework is an analytical model that jointly considers several practical concerns that include the strict delay bound for each packet, the throughput requirement of each client, and the unreliable nature of wireless transmissions.

Visible to the public Control of Surgical Robots: Network Layer to Tissue Contact

Submitted by chizeck on Mon, 10/01/2012 - 10:38am. Contributors:

Abstract

The original goals of this project were to take an existing open surgical robot testbed (the RAVEN robot), and to create a robust infrastructure for cyber-physical systems with which to extend traditional real-time control and teleoperation concepts. This is done by adding three new interfaces to the system:
