Activities

I'm a Senior Editor of IEEE Transactions on Robotics, 2005-present.
I'm an Associate Editor of the Swarm Intelligence journal, 2008-present.
I'm serving on the National Research Council Study on Persistent Surveillance: A Critical Tool for the Counter-IED Mission, 2009-2010.
I serve on the National Research Council's Panel on Air and Ground Vehicle Technology of the Laboratory Assessments Board, which evaluates research at the Army Research Laboratory, 2007-2010.

I was a selected member of the Defense Science Study Group, a group of 14 professors, for 2004-2005. This program is run for DARPA by IDA, to educate professors on national security issues. As part of this program, we focused on defense policy, related research and development, and the systems, missions, and operations of the armed forces. Here's a web page documenting our adventures by one of our DSSG members. (Thanks, Annie!)

I taught a seminar/short course on behavior-based and collective robotics at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain, hosted by the Complex and Adaptive Systems Laboratory (ScALAB), February 5-9, 2001.
I organized the 5th International Symposium on Distributed Autonomous Robotic Systems (DARS 2000), held in Knoxville, TN in October 2000.
I guest co-edited (with Tucker Balch) a special issue of Autonomous Robots on the topic of Heterogeneous Multi-Robot Systems, 8(3), 2000.
I taught a short-course on Collective and Cooperative Robotics at the University of Buenos Aires' ECI '99 (Escuela de Ciencias Informaticas) in July, 1999.
I organized two special sessions on Cooperating Robots, held at the SPIE Sensor Fusion and Decentralized Control in Robotic Systems II Conference, which was part of SPIE's International Symposium on Intelligent Systems and Advanced Manufacturing, in September 1999.
