PROJECTS

Electroaerodynamic Propulsion for Silent, Solid-state Micro Air Vehicles

Design, fabrication, and control of novel small-scale drones based on atmospheric ion propulsion. They fly completely silently and with no visible moving parts.

Heterogeneous Robotic Swarms

Instead of simply relying on numbers, swarms of resource-constrained robots can also rely on hardware specialization ("phenotypic diversity") to accomplish tasks.
