Consistent with the multi-disciplinary nature of the problems that we tackle, our research areas span a broad spectrum of technical areas. Here we capture some of the major topics:
- Technology Areas
- Dynamics and Control (Nonlinear Control, MPC, Optimization, …)
- Perception (Optical Cameras, LIDAR, RADAR, object detection, classification, …)
- Situational Awareness including localization (sensor fusion, target tracking, landmark based localization, semantic maps, …)
- Decision Making (Deterministic and non-deterministic planning, graph networks, MDP, POMDP, …)
- Distributed Computing
- Functional and Software Architectures
- Modeling and Simulation
- Model Based Systems Engineering
- Multi-objective Design and Control Optimization
- Connectivity
- Application Areas
- On-road autonomous and semi-autonomous passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles
- Off-road autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicles
- Multi-vehicle (ground to ground, ground to air, and air to air) coordination
- High efficiency (electric) drivetrain
- Infrastructure Enabled Autonomy
