A new research grant has been awarded. The project title is “Active Inference-based Deep Learning Technology for Automatic Perception and Control of Autonomous Vehicles.” With generous support from Hanyang University, BIMI will investigate an integrated bio-inspired approach for perception and control in autonomous driving through the Active Inference principle until the end of 2026, collaborating with visiting scholars from Hanyang University.
A new collaborative research project has been awarded. My lab will develop automatic exploration algorithms for the project.
The Office of Research is thrilled to announce an outstanding team of faculty from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Michigan-Dearborn, led by Samir Rawashdeh, Ph.D. along with Junaid Farooq, Alireza Mohammadi, and Jaerock Kwon has been awarded a one-year, $900,000 grant from MxD for their project titled “Robotic Wireless Signal Strength Mapping of Industrial Facilities.” The Department of Defense (DoD) is the prime sponsor of this project. The project aims to develop an autonomous mobile robot equipped with spectrum analysis and radio hardware to survey wireless signal strength and map it relative to a self-built, two-dimensional layout of the factory floor.
My project-based learning effort for Robotic Manipulation was introduced during the 2024 State of the University Address on Thursday, February 8, 2024.
A project titled “Development of Machine Learning Algorithms for Electric Autonomous Agricultural Vehicles” has been awarded. This project is sponsored by WApplE Cloud Co., Ltd. It will start on January 1, 2024, and end on June 30, 2024.
The proposal, “RID: Open-Source Autonomous Ground Vehicular Robotics Platform,” has been awarded for Research Initiation & Development (RID – FY24 Fall Cycle). 1/15/2024 – 1/14/2025.
I am looking for a graduate student who will work on this project during this summer. Please contact me if you are interested in joining this project.
After the end-of-term presentation of the BIMI lab, we went to Ford Garage to celebrate another successful term, 2023 Fall. Thank you again for your hard work, Bimians!
