UW Aero & Astro Research Showcase (3rd Place)
Published:
At the 1st UW Aero & Astro Research Showcase, I presented work on consensus over Lie groups and received 3rd place.
What problem was this about?
Classical consensus algorithms are usually developed in Euclidean spaces. Many robotics and aerospace states live on curved spaces (manifolds), where Euclidean updates can be inconsistent with geometry.
What was the main contribution?
The talk summarized a geometric approach to consensus that respects manifold structure, with emphasis on convergence behavior and distributed implementation.
Why it matters
Geometry-aware consensus methods are important for multi-agent autonomy when orientation and pose states are involved.
