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.

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.

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:
