Fingerpointing
I am currently involved in the fingerpointing group studying compiler-level techniques for fault diagnosis in distributed systems.
CTA rCommerce Lab
During the summer of 2006 I worked as a programming and research intern in the CTA rCommerce Lab, which is studying trading-based multi-robot coordination at several levels, from path planning to robot collaboration. Features I worked on include a laser rangefinder simulator, gyro accelerometer calibration, a network monitor, and a flexible logging system.
Claytronics
During my freshman year I worked on the Giant Helium Catoms project as a part of Claytronics. In this project, I worked on an interdisciplinary team to engineer giant (2 meter3) uniform robotics modules (catoms) that actuated around each other using electrostatic flaps. These catoms both simulated micro-scale electrostatic catoms and suggested more immediate applications in large-scale modular automated construction. I helped with the firmware for the catoms, designed and fabricated the center balloons, and gave part of a conference presentation for the project at NASA RASC-AL 2006.
