Building trust in machine learning and robotics

In this project, we will look into defining various machine learning methods, and its applications into robotic technologies and suggest factors that are required in automation. In industry, trust is key in ensuring acceptance and continuous progress and development. It is hoped that the findings from this research will contribute towards the awareness and importance of technologies on the basis of policies and regulations, to maximize the advanceme...

Effectiveness of an autonomous vehicle using solar energy for a custom battery

The process of designing and testing a custom lithium battery pack with supplemental solar charging is examined. The design process includes: meeting power consumption requirements, determining the appropriate assembly and wiring method, incorporating a Battery Management System (BMS), Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis, experimental testing, determining the appropriate Battery Thermal Management System (BTMS)...

Enhancing Border Security using Heterogeneous UV Swarm with AI and Graph Theory

With increasing border emergencies, the application of novel border patrol and surveillance techniques is crucial. One of the prosperous novel techniques for border surveillance is the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and swam robotics. The authors proposed ?DUST: an ultra-large scale miniature UV-based AI platform for border protection? in 2021-SLA (grant number: 21STSLA00009-01-00). This proposal introd...

I-Corps Site: A Biological Sciences Site for the California State University

This is a mini grant (sub-award) being applied for from the NSF I-corps/ CSUPERB program, where CSUN would be a sub awardee of San Diego State University. The purpose of this funding being applied for (in the amount of $2500) is to do an initial study to understand the commercial viability of a product being developed. The funding will be used to conduct approximately 30 interviews with potential customers and understan...
