Research Interests

Robots are systems and, I beleive, can often best be done with a systems approach.  Integration of the mechanics with the control and planning is important for getting the most performance out of a system.  My particular areas of application are in planetary robotics and assistive robotic systems.  Some relevant papers in these areas include:

• D. P. Miller, T. Hunt, M. Roman, S. Swindell, L. Tan, and A. Winterholler. Experiments with a long-range planetary rover. In Proceedings of the The 7th International Symposium on Artificial Intelligence, Robotics and Automation in Space, Nara, Japan, May 2003.
• D.P. Miller, R.S. Desai, E. Gat, R. Ivlev and J. Loch, Experiments with a small behavior controlled planetary rover, in Missions, Technologies and Design of Planetary Mobile Vehicles, pp. 545-551, D. Moura, Ed., Cepadues-Editions Publisher, Toulouse France, 1993.
• E.F. LoPresti, R.C. Simpson, D. Miller and I. Nourbakhsh, Evaluation of Sensors for a Smart Wheelchair, Proceedings of the RESNA 2002 Annual Conference, pp. 166-168, June 2002.
• D.P. Miller, & M.G. Slack, Design & Testing of a Low-Cost Robotic Wheelchair, in Autonomous Robots, volume 1 #3, 1995.

With regards to technology education, I am a co-founder of KISS Institute for Practical Robotics and have been developing tools to promote technology education through robotics at both the University and the K-12 levels.  I am the technical lead for the Botball program.  The papers below summarizes some of this work.
