Robotics and Adaptive Systems

P-21 has begun investigations into the design, implementation, and application of a variety of adaptive control systems. These include development of biologically inspired, legged robotics with simple, highly robust control circuits; applications of wavelets for feature recognition and data compression; and support for advanced multi-channel data-acquisition systems. This work promises to contribute both to an improved understanding of robotic control and to a variety of applications in which robust, inexpensive adaptive capabilities are required.
