The Machine Intelligence Laboratory (MIL) provides a
synergistic environment dedicated to the study and development of intelligent,
autonomous robots. The faculty and students associated with the laboratory
conduct research in the theory and realization of machine intelligence covering
topics such as machine learning, real-time computer vision, statistical modeling,
robot kinematics, autonomous vehicles, teleoperation and human interfaces, robot
and nonlinear control, computational intelligence, neural networks, Hidden
Markov Models (HMMs), and general robotics. Applications of MIL research include
underwater unmanned vehicles, autonomous land vehicles, swarm robots, humanoid robots,
Micro-Air Vehicles (MAVs), direct brain-machine interfaces (BMIs), and autonomous
household robots.
MIL's
SubjuGator
is the three time and defending champion autonomous submarine
of the AUVSI/ONR underwater competitoin.
In the fall of 2005, MIL physically moved next door to
CIMAR
(The Center for Intelligent Machines and Robotics)
in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department. We
relocated our lab facilities and faculty offices
adjacent to the CIMAR labs and offices in order to streamline
our collaborations.
With MIL (from Electrical and Computer Engineering Department)
and CIMAR working together, the possibilities are incredible.

The
video segment can be seen here
(from the Discovery Channel website)..
-
SubjuGator video for 2005-2006.
- A story about MIL's SubjuGator was televised on Discovery's The
Science Channel (Cox Digital Cable channel 101 in Gainesville) on
Friday, February 10, 2006 at 8pm and 11pm (EST) on a show called
Discoveries this Week.
It also was shown on Feb 10 at 11pm, on Feb 11 at 3am & 10am, Feb 12 at
8pm & 11pm and on Feb 13 at 3am, 9am & 1pm. You can
watch this video here.
I'm sorry about the poor sound quality.
- The same story (as above) about MIL's SubjuGator was on the
Daily Planet show on Discovery
Channel (Canada) on November 2, 2005.
