The Robotics & Controls Research Group at Stevens Institute of Technology is in an interdisciplinary group of faculty and students that spans the Mechanical Engineering, Electrical & Computer, and Computer Science Departments in the Charles V. Schaefer, Jr. School of Engineering and Science.
Robotics & Controls Research Group Faculty
David J. Cappelleri, Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering
Research Lab: Multi-Scale Robotics and Automation Lab
Prof. Cappelleri's research area is on robotic and automation systems at various length scales: macro-scale (cm to m), meso-scale (~100's of um to a few mm's), micro-scale (10's of um to 100's of um), and nano-scale (nm). Particular areas of focus are multi-scale robotic manipulation and assembly tasks, mobile micro/nano robotics, bio-nano robotics, mechatronics, robotic system integration, medical robotics and devices, micro/nano aerial vehicles, MEMS device design and fabrication to aid in robotics and automation tasks, and automation for the life sciences. Please visit the Multi-Scale Robotics and Automation Lab (MSRAL) website to learn more information on current and past projects.
Yan Meng, Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Research Lab: Embedded Systems and Robotics Laboratory
The projects of this interdisciplinary laborotory span the areas of autonomous robots (especially bio-inspired morphogenetic swarm robots and morphogenetic modular robots), computational intelligence, artificial life, machine learning, real-time embedded systems, and bioinformatics, which impact a broad spectrum of applications, such as complex systems, emergency response, urban search and rescue, homeland security, surveillance systems, and biomedical systems. The goal of the laboratory is the employment of research results to solve problems arising from the real-world in a wide range of application domain, and provides a foundation for collaboration and opportunities for education and outreach.
Philippos Mordohai, Assistant Professor of Computer Science
Research Lab: Computer Visualization and Graphics Laboratory
Philippos Mordohai and his students work on several areas of computer vision with an emphasis on 3D reconstruction and the analysis of 3D data. Active projects include binocular, multi-view and video-based 3D reconstruction; 3D reconstruction of dynamic scenes; urban scene understanding from video and point cloud streams; object recognition from large-scale range data; and facial expression recognition. Dr. Mordohai's interests in robotics are focused on sensing and scene understanding aspects using cameras and other sensors as input devices.
Kishore Pochiraju, Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering
Research Lab: Design and Manufacturing Institute
Michael Zavlanos, Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering
Yi Guo, Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Research Lab: Robotics and Automation Laboratory
The Robotics and Automation Laboratory is engaged in research in autonomous mobile robots and control systems. We develop fundamental understanding in autonomous mobility and robot cooperation, and provide computational algorithms for increasing cooperative mobility of mobile robotic systems. Control system synthesis spans from multi-agent systems, communication systems, electric power systems, and nano-scale systems. Robotic and automation systems are needed for a variety of applications in civil and military missions. The application domains include security, surveillance and reconnaissance, planetary exploration, search and rescue, cleanup of hazardous waste, mining, transportation, manufacturing, rehabilitation and service, agricultural industry, biomedical industry, ocean and coastal engineering, and aerospace engineering.
