The system provides a common spatial reference for robots, sensors, cameras, and human interfaces, making it easier to move from individual prototypes to coordinated physical experiments. Our goal is to turn this setup into a reusable foundation for studying multi-robot coordination, human-robot interaction, perception, and mixed-reality interfaces, while lowering the effort needed to build and repeat real-world experiments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"996\" height=\"707\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.nd.edu\/roarlab\/files\/2026\/08\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-451\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.nd.edu\/roarlab\/files\/2026\/08\/image.png 996w, https:\/\/sites.nd.edu\/roarlab\/files\/2026\/08\/image-300x213.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.nd.edu\/roarlab\/files\/2026\/08\/image-768x545.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 996px) 100vw, 996px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"942\" height=\"707\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.nd.edu\/roarlab\/files\/2026\/08\/image-1-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-452\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.nd.edu\/roarlab\/files\/2026\/08\/image-1-1.png 942w, https:\/\/sites.nd.edu\/roarlab\/files\/2026\/08\/image-1-1-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.nd.edu\/roarlab\/files\/2026\/08\/image-1-1-768x576.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 942px) 100vw, 942px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Shared Localization Platform for Mobile Robots\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Mqgjy0x6prY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Human Blimp Interaction We investigated the interaction between a human and a miniature autonomous blimp through pointing motion, and for the first time, constructed a dynamical model describing human behavior in interaction with a flying robot through pointing motion.
