There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Title: Robot BATMAN: Wireless Mesh Routing Protocol for Mobile Robot Applications
Committee:
Dr. F. Zhang, Advisor
Dr. Coogan, Chair

Abstract:
The objective of the proposed research is to extend the B.A.T.M.A.N. routing protocol for mobile robotics applications through modifications to its routing metric and route selection rules. It's channel quality estimation process will be modified to incorporate stochastic data fusion of external data sources, employing the concept of outage probability as a new unifying routing metric. The results will be validated using a hybrid multi-robot simulation on an identified vehicle dynamics model of a flying robot from the Georgia Tech Systems Research lab, with all inter-agent communication emulated in real-time through virtualized networking software.
