@zahi_kakish Thanks a lot, Zahi!

@zahi_kakish @SolRoboticsInc That's terrific!! Raj is there and will be presenting tomorrow.

@aadhi_6 @TedPavlic @Tockj2 @ssu_tera @shenbagaraj @rakshith_subra @ASUEngineering Congratulations and thank you for all your dedicated work in the lab! 🚛🤖

Thankful for 2 yrs of robotics research exp at ACS Lab of Prof @spring_berman. Wonderful collaboration on Virtuous Vehicles with @TedPavlic @Tockj2. Great learning working with @ssu_tera, @shenbagaraj @rakshith_subra Graduating @ASUEngineering 🎓 MS Robotics & Autonomous Systems

New paper with @AniketRShirsat Shatadal Mishra @asuriselab: "Probabilistic Consensus on Feature Distribution for Multi-Robot Systems With Markovian Exploration Dynamics" ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/97699…

I'm proud to have been so heavily involved in the creation of @asu_gsi #ASUCHART GHOST Lab @PolySchoolASU, working with engineers and artists to craft a space that's both scientific testbed and art installation. Awesome research is already in progress! @ASUResearch @lancegharavi

More than 50 workshops and tutorials and lots of new opportunities to present your work. Check out the program and register for #ICRA2022 at icra2022.org/program/worksh…

Happy Tuesday! NSF (M3X) Award Notice. Excited to be Co-PI (w/ @spring_berman) on @ASUPsych Kathy Johnson's "Embodiment of Human Values Profiles in the Control of Autonomous Vehicles" We'll be joining #psychology & #control to make vehicles w/ MORALLY graceful failure modes :-)

New paper, "Decentralized Control of Multi-Agent Systems using Local Density Feedback": Agents evolve according to a discrete-time Markov process, decentralized density-dependent transition kernel, no agent state transitions at equilibrium ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/95290…

Fun moderating the discussion on Robot Swarms in the Real World with panelists @NoraRobots, @spring_berman, Dan Goldman, and Rafael de la Guardia. Well done to @SiddharthMayya, Gennaro Notomista, @RoderichGross and @vijay_r_kumar for the great workshop! sites.google.com/view/realworld…

Also, new paper on an MPC method for collision-free, deadlock-free navigation by multiple nonholonomic robots: authors.elsevier.com/a/1csyL3HdG3dd…

New paper on stabilizing discrete-time deterministic nonlinear control systems to target invariant measures (using time-invariant stochastic feedback laws): ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/91197…

New paper on swarm shepherding: Mean-field model and control approach for herding a swarm (via repulsive interactions) to a target state distribution using a “leader” agent: ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/92417…

@Slatinojr @d_w_bliss Do we need an appointment? And can others in the vehicle (spouse, family, etc.) also get the vaccine even if they're not an ASU employee?

AZ Covid-19 Vaccinations Status: Infuriatingly slow At current rate, Maricopa County would take about 5 years to vaccinate everyone. We need to accelerate vaccination rates dramatically. With the opening of 1B, hopefully, next week is better.

Do want to implement a gradient-based feedback control law that was developed for a holonomic robot model, but your robot is nonholonomic? See our new RA-L paper: ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/92583…

@TedPavlic @FossilLocator Hi Yinan! :)

@FossilLocator I do! We meet weekly on a project involving implementing frameworks for ethical decision making in autonomous vehicles. We have worked on ant-inspired robotics too. I know @spring_berman very well. :-)
