Research Interests: Robotics. Mechanics, planning, and control of robotic manipulation (juggling, throwing, pushing, rolling, vibration, etc.); self-organizing systems, particularly decentralized control of mobile sensor networks; motion planning and control for underactuated dynamic systems; physical human/robot interaction; industrial applications.
Principles of Robot Motion, by Howie Choset,
Kevin Lynch, Seth Hutchinson, George Kantor, Wolfram Burgard,
Lydia Kavraki, and Sebastian Thrun, MIT Press, 2005.
Amazon listing. Covers bug
algorithms, configuration space, potential function methods, roadmaps, cell
decomposition approaches, sampling-based algorithms (PRM's, RRT's, etc.), Kalman
filtering, Bayesian methods, robot dynamics, trajectory planning for
dynamic systems, and nonholonomic and underactuated systems.
