System Software and Integration
Task 5.1
Sensor Programming and Collaborative Control
Task Lead: Saibal Mukhopadhyay, Other PI: Xiaofan Jiang
OBJECTIVE
This task will develop a collaborative framework to manage the sensor operation from the host processor to improve the sensing-to-action platform. 3 Deliverable. The algorithms and simulation platforms for programming and collaborative control of sensors.
Task 5.2
Adaptive Feature Extraction
Task Lead: Amit Ranjan Trivedi, Other PIs: Vijay Raghunathan
OBJECTIVE
To improve the robustness of perception/control risk assessments, this task develops the framework of “sensor reputation tracking” which complements the sensor/signal trust scores in Task 3.1 by integrating domain knowledge, recommendations from other multispectral sensor nodes, and by tracking past performance of a sensor node on various autonomy tasks. Deliverable The software implementation of the reputation scoring methods
Task 5.3
Ensuring End-to-End System Security
Task Lead: Vijay Raghunathan, Other PIs: Amit Ranjan Trivedi
OBJECTIVE
This task will develop methods to ensure secure operation of a system using the cognitive sensor considering physical non-idealities in hardware or environment and security attacks may be due to adversarial inputs or malicious attacks anywhere along the data flow path. Deliverable The software implementation of the secure design methodology..
Task 5.4
System Prototyping
Task Lead: Xiaofan Jiang, Other PIs: Saibal Mukhopadhyay & Vijay Raghunathan
OBJECTIVE
This task will develop methods to ensure secure operation of a system using the cognitive sensor considering physical non-idealities in hardware or environment and security attacks may be due to adversarial inputs or malicious attacks anywhere along the data flow path. Deliverable The software implementation of the secure design methodology.
Task 5.5
System Prototyping
Task Lead: Xiaofan Jiang, Other PIs: Saibal Mukhopadhyay & Vijay Raghunathan
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this task is to design, construct, and evaluate a drone-based sense-toaction prototype platform enabled by CogniSense. The task will use object tracking and following as a driving application to demonstrate the capabilities and advantages of CogniSense. Deliverable. A drone-based platform for object detection and following and demonstration of improved performance.
