Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) Development
UAS for geophysical surveys is being developed in the Mechanical and aerospace Engineering department (M&AE), with industry partner, an Ottawa company and with support from Systems and Computer Engineering (SCE)
UAS has a demanding mission– 8-hours endurance
– Airspeed between 60 and 100 kts
– Low altitude down to 30 ft above terrain; terrain following is required
– Sensitive magnetometers are mounted on the wingtips
– Magnetic signature of the air vehicle must be minimized

Soccer Playing Robots
We are interested in imitating agent behavior that is space and time dependent RoboCup is a good environment for such exploration
Our methodology:
1. Perform data capture from logs generated by existing RoboCup clients
2. Transform the captured data into a spatial knowledge representation format (a scene)
3. Game-time: pick closest (or one of k-closest) captured scene to current one and perform corresponding action

Find best match(es) between current situation and stored scenes (k-nearest-neighbor search)
Perform associated action
-> accuracy of the distance calculation function between two scenes is crucial

Slide Name
Limitations and Future Work Short term
– consider object velocity;
– weigh the importance of an object based on its proximity to the player;
– scene prototyping to reduce duplication and introduce more scene variation; (done!)
– CBR-style adaptation of the action;
– automatic weight determination is very time consuming: more tests required here. (done!)
Long term– Need to take into account state and context-based behavior:
non-visual info: body state, game state... actions as part of a plan or succession of scenes
– a clue: two similar scenes leading to different actions
– might need to remember and backtrack to previous scene(s)
– Higher-level representation for scenes conversion to spatial and/or temporal logic?
