Autonomous Bio-Inspired Small-Object Detection and Avoidance

ICRA 2018poster

Small-object detection and avoidance in unknown environments is a significant challenge to overcome for small autonomous vehicles that are generally highly agile and restricted in payload and computational processing power. Typical machine-vision and range measurement based solutions suffer either f…

Bio-inspired wind frame state sensing and estimation for MAV applications

IROS 2015poster

Kapton strain-based hair sensors were designed and fabricated to measure flow on a micro air vehicle. The fabrication process is carried out using a single mask and a combination of cleanroom and regular lab room processing. The processing resulted in successful realization of 6.4 mm long sensors wi…

Computationally efficient underwater navigational strategy in electrically heterogeneous environments using electrolocation

ICRA 2015poster

Weakly electric fish use a navigational technique called electrolocation to investigate their surroundings for predator, prey and obstacles. Obstacles and other global stimuli are perceived as perturbations to the fish's self-generated electric field, which provide relevant navigational cues to the…
