Quantum Robotics, Multibody Dynamics, and Autonomy

For the first time, we are tackling the interface of Quantum Science and Technology, and Robotic Systems Autonomy, under the Quantum Robotics topic. We want to bring the two areas of Quantum Technologies and Robotics/System Autonomy together in order to explore the opportunities at the interface that offer potential for future applications in advanced autonomy, mechatronics, autonomy, security and cyber-physical systems in multiple domains, going beyond existing techniques. Our research is focused on the engineering applications of quantum paradigms (protocols, algorithms, sensing and control techniques) that will enable new applications and capabilities for increased autonomy of macroscopic systems as robotic platforms (not the aspects of the science of Quantum, nor quantum computing alone). The research includes the experimental aspects of quantum entanglement and cryptography that can be demonstrated today in the lab, and their integration and testing with multi-agent robotic controls. Our Quantum Multibody Dynamics research is an initiative with applications to robotics, control, and autonomy with unmatched quantum capabilities such as Guaranteed Security, Ultimate Speed for control, and entanglement, which allows capabilities beyond any classical and existing engineering techniques in cooperative multi-agent robotics, controls, and autonomy. We are also interested in the compatibility and adaptability of quantum technologies and classical robotic systems from the mechatronics point of view. This original and pioneering research is carried out by Dr. Farbod Khoshnoud (from California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, and a research affiliate at JPL), Dr. Marco Quadrelli (from NASA JPL, Caltech), Professor Ibrahim I. Esat (from Brunel University, London, UK), and Professor Clarence W. De Silva (from the University of British Columbia), For some information about this research please see the preprints of some of our papers available here: https://arxiv.org/search/?query=khoshnoud&searchtype=all&source=header
