Robotics and Internet of Things (RIOTU) Lab

ROBOTIC AND INTERNET OF THINGS LAB RIOTU

The Robotics and Internet of Things (RIOTU) Lab at PSU is engaged in a broad range of research projects working in the frontier of three main topics, mobile robots and drones, the Internet of Things, in addition to deep learning and AI. The mission of the Robotics and Internet of Things lab is to develop innovative solutions for these three areas. In particular, we aim at developing protocols, services and intelligent algorithms to use these systems through the Internet while integrating them into the cloud. The objective of cloud integration is to (1) virtualize the access to these systems through abstract interfaces, (2) take advantage of cloud resources to offload computations from these systems to the cloud. We are also interested in developing deep learning solutions to analyze data collected from robots/drones/sensors in different contexts of applications, such as surveillance, people behavior monitoring, self-driving systems, disaster management, crowd management, etc.
