Brett's research is aimed at making computers better at solving very large and complex problems that arise when teams of robots work together. The research draws on work in the artificial intelligence and machine learning communities and applies these ideas to a robotics testbed which supports multiple air- and ground-based robots working in concert. Eventual applications of this technology range from automated transportation systems to robotic teams that help to rescue survivors of natural disasters.
Brett graduated from MIT in 2005 with degrees in aerospace engineering and physics. In his free time, he enjoys flying (as an instrument-rated private pilot), playing ice hockey and soccer, and music.
