Tech Xplore interviews Souma Chowdhury, associate professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, in a story on the development of a technique that could enhance the performance of robot teams during disaster response missions.
"Over the past three to four years, we have been exploring unique ways to coordinate large teams of ground robots and drones for assisting in hazard mapping and search-and-rescue operations that are critical to emergency and disaster response applications," Chowdhury says. "During these research explorations, we converged upon the need for an algorithm that can quickly (on the go) allocate tasks among robots in the team."
