Visible to the public A Unified System Theoretic Framework for Cyber Attack-Resilient Power Grid

Submitted by Umesh Vaidya on Thu, 11/06/2014 - 3:09pm. Contributors:

Abstract:

We developed an analytical and computational framework for vulnerability analysis of dynamical power networks to link and node-based attacks. For stochastic link failure attacks, we provided a systematic procedure for ranking links (transmission lines) of power network in the order of their critical importance to maintain synchronization among network generators.

Abstract:

Cerebral Palsy (CP) is the most common motor disorder of central origin in childhood and affects at least 2 children per 1000 live births every year. This project will research new methods and tools in motor/cognitive assessment for small children (5-8 years old) with Cerebral Palsy.

Visible to the public A Hybrid Detector Network for Nuclear and Radioactive Threat Detection

Submitted by Raghuraman Mudumbai on Thu, 11/06/2014 - 2:54pm. Contributors:

Abstract:

Identification and tracking of nuclear materials is a problem of obvious importance, and has attracted a great deal of engineering effort in the recent past. The technical challenges of this problem are compounded by the fact that nuclear materials that are of interest vary widely in their concentrations and compositions, and are often concealed with shielding material, and buried in background radiation that is always present, but varies widely in strength and spectrum over time and space.

Visible to the public A Framework for Validation and Monitoring of Robotic Surgery Systems

Submitted by muratcenk on Thu, 11/06/2014 - 2:37pm. Contributors:

Abstract:

The objective of this research is the development of a framework for assessing the reliability and safety of robotic surgery systems during development, field testing, and general deployment. The framework uses accurate simulations to assess pre-clinical reliability before deployment. After deployment, the framework uses data collection through online monitoring of the system as it is being used in the field, followed by analysis to obtain assessments of operational reliability and safety.

Visible to the public Architectural and Algorithmic Solutions for Large-Scale PEV Integration into Power Grids

Submitted by Vijay Gupta on Mon, 10/28/2013 - 5:26pm. Contributors:

Abstract:

Electrification of the transportation market offers revenue growth for utility companies and automobile manufacturers, lower operational costs for consumers, and benefits to the environment. However, even moderate penetration of PEVs will stress the power grid. This project formulates and solves optimization problems critical to various entities in the PEV ecosystem -- PEV owners, commercial charging station owners, aggregators, and distribution companies -- at the distribution / retail level.

Visible to the public Context-dependent control of smart artificial hands through enhanced touch perception and mechatronic reflexes

Submitted by vjsantos on Mon, 10/28/2013 - 5:22pm. Contributors:

Abstract:

One grand challenge facing the nascent field of cyber-physical systems is the human-machine interface. Complex systems such as teleoperated space robots, telesurgery robots, and wheel-chair mounted assistive robots involve various levels of human intervention and proximity of the human operator to the artificial system.
