Flying Android Project
In 2009, I was challenged by [govt agency] via GTRI to develop an Unmaned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) which is piloted by a smartphone. In particular, only the sensors on the phone may be used and the flight controller must run on the smartphone. Custom electronics were allowed to interface the phone to the airframe (PHY) […]

Underwater vehicle construction remains somewhat of a black art where effective design principles are often found through trial and error rather than analytically. […]

Monkey
Presently the only platforms to study human robotics interaction are expensive custom platforms which are developed over the course of several years at a very high development cost. Thanks to rapid growth in the toy industry, and the dramatic economies of scale, robotic toys have become available at very low cost for the functionality they […]
