Research Interests
The goal of research in the Advanced Mechatronics Laboratory (affiliated with the Robotics Institute and the Institute for Complex Engineered Systems) is developing the enabling technologies for "Rapidly Deployable Systems" through composition (using hardware and software building blocks) and collaboration (amongst autonomous robots and software agents).
Professor Khosla's vision of an intelligent system involves several specialized components (hardware or software) that can be composed rapidly to create a system, and that collaborate with each other to achieve the desired behavior. To accomplish these goals and demonstrate this vision, technologies are being developed for distributed design and manufacturing, and utilization of the next generation of distributed robot systems (macroscopic and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS)-based) that will include hardware, software and man-machine interfaces.
Achieving this goal requires the pursuit of research in seemingly diverse but philosophically connected areas. These research goals are being achieved under the umbrella of the following projects: Agent-Based Control of Distributed Intelligent Systems, Agent-Based Methods for Distributed Design and Manufacture, Assuring Quality of Service in Heterogeneous Networks, Reconfigurable Robots, Composable Simulations for Intelligent CAD, Gesture-Based Programming and Design of Real-Time Software Systems.
