Collaboration with Free-Flying Robots

Free-flying robots hold great promise for a variety of terrestrial and space exploration activities, such as mapping novel environments or collecting data from inaccessible locations or from locations that are infeasible to instrument. However, tools for effectively tasking, managing and interacting with these robots are currently unavailable. This research aims to develop scalable interface technologies for supervising aerial robots and new algorithms and techniques for communicating robot state to nearby users.
