Talk Title: Design and Analysis of Open-Source Haptic Devices for Educational Applications
Series: Computer Science Colloquium
Abstract: Open-source hardware significantly impacts the development of technology by allowing communities of users with varied expertise to share, customize and collectively improve on designs. Most haptic hardware available outside of the research community is proprietary and expensive. This prevents communities of users from easily obtaining, building, modifying, and learning from the devices. I propose that the ability to easily obtain, assemble and customize a haptic device is especially important for educational applications. In this talk I present three open-source haptic devices, for which I carefully considered trade-offs in cost, ease of making, and performance -- toward making haptic devices more accessible for educational applications.
This lecture satisfies requirements for CSCI 591: Research Colloquium.

Title: Task and Path Planning for Teams of Agents
Abstract: In many real-world applications of multi-agent systems, teams of agents must assign tasks among themselves and plan collision-free paths to the task locations. The resulting coordination problems are fundamental for these multi-agent systems but, at the same time, computationally challenging, as there are often many agents and their operating time is long. We formalize two types of multi-agent coordination problems: (a) One-shot coordination problems that assign given tasks to and plan paths for a given set of agents on a given graph that models the environment. (b) Long-term coordination problems that repeatedly assign new tasks and plan paths for the agents after they finish their current tasks. We study the theoretical properties of these problems, develop algorithms for solving them, and demonstrate our algorithms using simulated and real-world agents.
