Census-Based Population Autonomy for Marine Robots: Theory and Experiments
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-05)Collaborating groups of robots show promise due in their ability to complete missions more efficiently and with improved robustness, attributes that are particularly useful for systems operating in marine environments. A ... -
Experimental Quantification of the Phonon Drag Deformation Mechanism in Metals at Extreme Strain Rates
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-02)Extreme strain rate deformations, above 10⁶ s⁻¹, are seen across many fields of science and engineering; from meteorite impacts and impact induced crystallographic phase changes to high-speed machining and additive ... -
Stairway to Autonomy: Hierarchical Decision-Making for LLM-Guided Planning, Bandit-Driven Exploration, and Multi-Agent Navigation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-05)Autonomous multi-agent systems must efficiently plan, explore, and navigate in dynamic and unknown environments, particularly for tasks like search & rescue and environmental monitoring. These settings are often characterized ...
