Abstract:
The project aims to establish a Cyber-Physical Infrastructure for urban environments and address fundamental problems that involve data collection, resource allocation, real-time decision making, safety, and security.

Abstract:
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) that modify themselves to improve performance or repair damage often recast the modular relationships among system components that enable Verification and Validation (V&V). We focus on in-flight control adaptation of damaged Flapping-Wing Micro Air Vehicles (FW-MAV).

Abstract:
This project addresses the safety and security issues that arise when giving users remote-access to a multi-robot research test-bed, where mobile robots can coordinate their behaviors in a collaborative manner. Through a public interface, users are able to schedule, and subsequently upload, their own code and run their experiments, while being provided with the scientific data produced through the experiment.

Abstract:
This project addresses urgent challenges in high confidence validation and verification of automotive vehicles due to on-going and anticipated introduction of advanced, connected and autonomous vehicles into mass production. Since such vehicles operate across both physical and cyber domains, faults can occur in traditional physical components, in cyber components (i.e., algorithms, processors, networks, etc.), or in both.

Abstract:
The goal of the proposed research is to advance the science of cyber-physical systems by more explicitly tying sensing, perception, and computing to the optimization and control of physical systems whose properties are variable and uncertain. The CPS platform to be studied is that of a bipedal robot locomoting over granular ground material with uncertain physical properties (sand, gravel, dirt, etc.).

Abstract:
Many cyber-physical systems(CPS) deployed in a number of applications ranging from airport security systems and transportation systems to health-care and manufacturing rely on a wide variety of sensors for prediction and control. In many of these systems, acquisition of information requires the deployment and activation of physical sensors which can result in increased expense or delay.

Abstract:
This project aims to develop the theory and technology for a new frontier in cyber-physical systems: cyber-physical manipulation. The ultimate goal of cyber-physical manipulation is to enable a group of hundreds or thousands of individual robotic agents to collaboratively explore an environment, manipulate objects in that environment, and transport those objects to desired locations.

Abstract:
This year, we continued our research effort on designing optimal decentralized monitoring and control mechanisms for networked infrastructure systems providing demand response services by first focusing on the example of intelligent electric transportation systems. The results are highlighted in this poster. Electric Vehicles (EV) are emerging as one of the primary solutions to make electricity demand elastic.

Abstract:
At a high level, the goal of this project is to collect data on how drivers approach and drive through intersections. Research at the University of Michigan concerns the development of the driving simulator scenarios and testing human subjects. In addition, considerable related research is being conducted on research methods. At MIT, models based on the research at Michigan are being developed. This abstract concerns those part of the project conducted at the University of Michigan.

Abstract:
Growing demands on our civil infrastructure have heightened the need for smart structural components and systems whose behavior and performance can be controlled under a variety of loading scenarios such as high winds and earthquakes.
