Enabling Trustworthy Upgrades of Machine-Learning Intensive Cyber-Physical Systems
NSF CAREER Award 2143351
Sole PI: Dr. Weiming Xiang, $498,985, June 2022 - May 2027
This project targets unique machine-learning-intensive CPS upgrade challenges by developing scalable verification and monitoring methods for upgrades as well as safe upgrade procedures to enable trustworthy upgrades and achieve lifetime safety assurance in machine-learning-intensive CPS.
Data-Driven Modeling and Control of Human-Cyber-Physical Systems with Extended-Reality-Assisted Interfaces
NSF CPS Award 2223035
Lead PI: Dr. Weiming Xiang, Co-PI: Dr. Jason Orlosky, $499,000, September 2022 - August 2025
This project will enable the synergistic integration of data-driven modeling and control methods such as neural networks, reinforcement learning, and model-based methods such as hybrid systems, and model predictive control. This project will also explore the benefits of extended reality (XR) in building human-machine interfaces for effective communication and interaction between human users, machines, and environments.
Foundations of Qualitative and Quantitative Safety Assessment of Learning-enabled Systems
NSF IIS Award 2331938
PI: Dr. Weiming Xiang, $270,913, December 2023 - November 2026
This project targets the foundational challenges of developing qualitative and quantitative safety assessment methods capable of capturing uncertainties from environments and providing timely, comprehensive, and accurate safety evaluations at the system level.
Vision-Based Navigation and Control of UAVs
This project aims to create navigation software for groups of autonomus flight drones using a camera vision based approach where localization of flight drones will primarily be handled by a classification neural network.
