Embedded Systems and Robotics Laboratory (ESRL) was founded by Prof. Yan Meng in August 2004.  We aim to discover and develop fundamental scientific principles and practices that are applicable to robotics and real-time embedded systems with broad and far-reaching applications. The projects of this interdisciplinary laboratory span the areas of autonomous robots, computational intelligence, artificial life, machine learning, real-time embedded systems, and bioinformatics, which impact a broad spectrum of applications, such as complex systems, emergency response, urban search and rescue, homeland security, education, and surveillance systems.  The goal of the laboratory is the employment of research results to solve problems arising from the real-world in a wide range of application domains, and provides a foundation for collaboration and opportunities for education and outreach. 

My major research interests include:

·        Autonomous Robots

·        Self-organizing multi-robot and swarm robots

·        Self-reconfigurable modular robots

·        Robot vision and image processing
 

·        Computational Intelligence, Artificial Life and Machine Learning

·        Multi-agent reinforcement learning

·        Evolving cognitive social robots

·        Neurocognitive based object/pattern/behavior recognition and learning
 

·        Real-time embedded systems

·        SMARbot (Stevens Modular Autonomous Robot)

·        Agent-based architecture for reconfigurable embedded systems
 

·        Bioinformatics
