Hi, there!

  • Virtual Reality Based Control of Robotic Swarms
    Collaborative Robotics Laboratory (CORAL), IIIT Delhi
    Advisor: Dr. P. B. Sujit
    Robotic swarms do not have intelligence for high level tasks. We need human input for effective mission execution and also for applications where physical presence of a human isn't possible. Virtual reality provides an interactive environment between humans and robots, in a way that is very effective and close to real world scenarios. We try to explore different ways in which humans can control robotic swarms efficiently.
