My name is Madhav D. Patil and I am a
PhD candidate in the Computer Science and Engineering Department at
the University of Bridgeport. My advisor is Professor Tarek
Sobh and my research interests lie in the intersection of
Robotics, Automation, Machine Perception and Sensing. My research work
is motivated by real-world applications of robotics intelligence (e.g.
exploring unknown environment, search and rescue, mapping and
navigation, service etc). All these applications rely significantly on a
variety of sensing devices of different capabilities (e.g. motion
detector, camera, GPS, microphone, biometric, infrared, ultrasonic, encoder, laser,
thermal, light, temperature sensors) to materialize this intelligence and the
resulting infrastructure gives rise to large-scale, heterogeneous, multimodal
communication networks. My goal is to efficiently and holistically manage such
networks and use this information for robots swarm by exploiting and extending
tools from stochastic control, detection, co-operative and optimization
theory. My work is to design and build robots and to address the problem
related to the hardware architecture design in Swarm Robotics. Specifically, building the hardware platforms for swarm of heterogeneous
robots. In Heterogeneous Swarm
system, robots with different designs or functionalities that usually
complement each other in order to complete tasks efficiently. Before joining
UB, I completed my undergraduate studies at the D. N. Patel COE, Shahada, North
Maharashtra University, India, where I received my Bachelor of Engineering
in Instrumentation and Control. For my undergrad project, I
worked on PLC based soft drink dispensing machine under the
supervision of Professor Mohan Patel.
