Nils Napp is an Assistant Professor in the field of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Cornell University. His research focuses on the design of control strategies for systems that operate under uncertainty, drawing inspiration from evolved biological systems. These systems are designed to function reliably in cluttered, unstructured, and fluctuating environments, despite the challenges posed by a lack of global information, planning, and communication. Napp's work encompasses self-organization and managing noise created by the interaction of components, leveraging distributed reactive behaviors and feedback to adapt strategies. He and his group aim to apply biological principles to develop algorithms that enable robotic systems to operate reliably in messy and unstructured real-world scenarios.
