COBRA: Cooperative Bio-Inspired Remote Maniulation Architecture

Active students on this grant: Andrea Bajo

Abstract:

This is a newly Navy-funded grant in collaboration with Nahid Sidki from SAIC International, Peter Allen at Computer Science Department of Columbia Univresity, and Wayne Book at Georgia Tech. Our aim is to design new deployable miro-manipulation systems for underwater assembly and subassembly of delicate instruments while providing frameworks for information fusion, force feedback, micromanipulation, vision feedback and guidance, and disturbacne rejection due to water movement.
