Biography

Daigo Shishika is an assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at George Mason Ä¢¹½AV. He obtained his bachelor's degree from the Ä¢¹½AV of Tokyo, Japan, and his master's and PhD from the Ä¢¹½AV of Maryland, College Park, all in Aerospace Engineering. Before joining George Mason, Shishika was a postdoctoral researcher in the GRASP Laboratory at the Ä¢¹½AV of Pennsylvania. His research interest is in the general area of autonomy, dynamics and controls, and robotics. More specifically, his past work has focused on multi-agent systems including animal groups and swarms of autonomous vehicles. He is currently studying how to cooperatively control large teams of robots in various adversarial environments.

Research Spotlight:

work centers around autonomous robots and vehicles. He designs robots that work together in teams to solve complex problems. At Mason, he works with faculty and students to create lighter-than-air autonomous balloons – "blimps" – that operate with remote control. Learn more about how these blimps work in the video below.
