A Micro Air Vehicle to Fly in Caves, Tunnels, and Buildings: A fixed-wing MAV, which flies like an airplane and hovers like a helicopter, was developed for autonomous surveillance and reconnaissance in caves, tunnels, and buildings. A modular flight control system was designed and integrated with an inertial measurement unit to achieve the first documented success of autonomously hovering a fixed-wing MAV. The low-level quaternion attitude controller serves as the foundation for higher-level controllers currently being developed for collision avoidance in cluttered environments.
Acquired Skills: Quaternion attitude control, PCB design, and GPS waypoint navigation

Closed Quarter Aerial Robotics (CQAR): Developed an aerial platform to fly in and around buildings. An optic flow sensor suite mimicking insect flight stratagems was also used to achieve autonomous tasks such as landing and collision avoidance.
Acquired Skills: Aircraft and control system design, microcontroller programming, and optic flow theory.

Civilian Medical Response Center (CiMeRC): Real-time image processing algorithms such as edge detection were used to communicate ingress and egress routes to emergency response teams.
Acquired Skills: Computer vision and image processing techniques, wireless video, and 802.11 networking.

Instructor		Simultaneous Localization and Mapping		Summer 2006
Attended the 2006 SLAM Summer School, which was a week long program held at the University of Oxford. Students were introduced to several techniques including EKF SLAM, vision-based SLAM, subsea SLAM, etc. Using the acquired knowledge, I created a short course on SLAM and instructed several graduate students on the theory and implementation behind the technology. http://prism2.mem.drexel.edu/~billgreen/slam/slam.html
