Visible to the public Design of Network Dynamics for Strategic Team-Competition

Submitted by Carolyn Beck on Mon, 10/31/2016 - 5:17pm. Contributors:

Our research addresses the competitive-strategic domain for two opposing teams of agents, which we model in the general framework of a repeated game over network. We are motivated by applications in which, somewhat abstractly, a large collection of autonomous agents must play a game against an adversary or a team of adversaries. We note these applications need not involve explicit adversarial interactions.

Visible to the public CPS Frontier - Collaborative Research- bioCPS for Engineering Living Cells

Submitted by Calin Belta on Mon, 10/31/2016 - 5:17pm. Contributor:

Our overall aim in this project is to synthesize desired behaviors in populations of bacterial and mammalian cells. To this goal, we define the basis of a next-generation cyber-physical system (CPS) called biological CPS (bioCPS). The enabling technologies are synthetic biology and micron-scale mobile robotics. Synthetic genetic circuits for decision making and local communication among the cells are automatically synthesized using a Bio-Design Automation (BDA) workflow.

Visible to the public CPS- Synergy- Thermal-Aware Management of Cyber-Physical Systems

Submitted by C.Mani Krishna on Mon, 10/31/2016 - 5:11pm. Contributors:

Cyber-physical processors work in harsh environments and often suffer very high operating temperatures. High temperatures accelerate processor aging and increase failure rate. Effective thermal-aware management is required to meet the computational demands of the application while reducing processor thermal stress.

Visible to the public CPS- Synergy- Distributed Sensing, Learning and Control in Dynamic Environments

Submitted by Bir Bhanu on Mon, 10/31/2016 - 5:11pm. Contributor:

The objective of this project is to improve the performance of autonomous systems in dynamic environments by integrating perception, planning paradigms, learning, and databases. For the next generation of autonomous systems to be truly effective in terms of tangible performance improvements (e.g., long-term operations, complex and rapidly changing environments), a new level of intelligence must be attained.

Submitted by bacikmese on Mon, 10/31/2016 - 5:11pm. Contributor:

Computer systems are increasingly coming to be relied upon to augment or replace human
operators in controlling mechanical devices in contexts such as transportation systems, chemical
plants, and medical devices, where safety and correctness are critical. A central problem is how
to verify that such partially automated or fully autonomous cyber-physical systems (CPS) are
worthy of our trust. One promising approach involves synthesis of the computer implementation

Visible to the public EAGER- Events of Interest (EoI) Capture Using Novel Body-worn Fully-passive Wireless Sensors for S&CC

Submitted by bashirmorshed on Mon, 10/31/2016 - 5:11pm. Contributor:

A smart and connected community (S&CC) will utilize distributed sensors and embedded computing to seamlessly generate meaningful interpretations that would be of great benefit to individuals, the community, and society, in general. Although rapidly emerging mobile health technology is already tapping into widely used smartphone infrastructure, data collection using smartphone mobile devices is currently limited by the availability of few integrated sensors (e.g., Inertial measurement unit (IMU), camera, optical sensors, temperature sensor, and GPS).

Visible to the public Design and Development of a Cybernetic Rehabilitative Hand-Wrist Exoskeleton

Submitted by ddashish on Mon, 10/31/2016 - 5:11pm. Contributors:

Robotic devices are excellent candidates for delivering repetitive and intensive practice that can restore functional use of the upper limbs, even years after a stroke. Rehabilitation of the wrist and hand in particular are critical for recovery of function, since hands are the primary interface with the world. However, robotic devices that focus on hand rehabilitation are limited due to excessive cost, complexity, or limited functionality. A design and control strategy for such devices that bridges this gap is critical.
