Heterogeneous Teams of Ground and Aerial Robots in Construction: A Pilot Study

PI: Kereshmeh Afsari

This project combines the areas of human-computer interaction (HCI) with construction robotics. Seven junior students from the computer science department specialized in HCI collaborated closely with two graduate students in construction engineering in the ARCADE lab to integrate a ground robot (Husky by Clearpath) and a drone (Tello Edu by DJI) to enable collaboration between two robotic agents on construction sites.

 

Student Researchers:

CS-HCI: Graham Prather-Long, Sophya Hargenrater, Rowan Cusano, Amado Otoro, Alex Georgiev, Evan Lee, Nicholas Myers.

CEM: Daniel Tempone and Shravika Jamnik
