DOI: 10.1109/access.2025.3559424
Abstract: In this study, we propose a novel multi-layered distributed control (MDC) framework for multi-robot deployment and coverage strategies in unknown structured environments. The MDC is structured with strategic function-based layers of swarm deployment, coverage, and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/tpami.2021.3106820
Abstract: We propose a new linear RGB-D SLAM formulation by utilizing planar features of the structured environments. The key idea is to understand given a structured scene and exploit its structural regularities such as the Manhattan… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pcbi.1007762
Abstract: Natural environments, like soils or the mammalian gut, frequently contain microbial consortia competing within a niche, wherein many species contain genetically encoded mechanisms of interspecies competition. Recent computational work suggests that physical structures in the… read more here.
