Mixed Reality-Enabled Robotic Swarm Design
Hao Zhang | hzhang@mines.edu
The goal of the project is to build a robotic swarm system to demonstrate robotic swarm operations (e.g., collaborative perception, reasoning, and decision making) and enable the swarm of robots to interact with and be controlled by humans through mixed reality.

Grand Engineering Challenge: Enhance virtual reality
Student Preparation
Qualifications
C++ and Python programming skills are required. Experience of Robot Operating System (ROS), robot design, computer vision, planning, augmented reality is preferred.
Time Commitment
20 hours/month
Skills/Techniques Gained
Design skills of integrated complex hardware-software system, research skills of applying artificial intelligence techniques to areas of robotics and mixed reality, and collaboration skills to work in an interdisciplinary team.
Mentoring Plan
The undergraduate student will work with master and PhD students working on related projects, so the student can have day-to-day communication with other teammates. The student will also meet with the professor weekly and attend the team meeting of the Human-Centered Robotics Lab.
