Future robotic systems must be able to operate and collaborate in complex environments with imperfect information at operationally-relevant speeds. However, today’s robots often fall far short of the agility, intuition, and resiliency required for meaningful real-world impact. In this talk, I will present on some of the research my team is conducting at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU/APL) to develop dramatically more capable robots that can operate at the very edge of physical and computational limits. In particular, I will present on our efforts to achieve agile autonomous flight with aerobatic fixed-wing UAVs for precision landing, high-speed navigation in constrained urban environments, and dynamic multi-vehicle operations. I will also present some of our recent research on the optimal coordination of multi-robot teams to achieve tactical behaviors in complex environments and terrains. Finally, I will discuss some future research directions, such as assuring controller performance, safe learning-based control, and the control of nonlinear hybrid dynamical systems.
