Biography

Daigo Shishika is an assistant professor in the Department of MechanicalÌýEngineering at ºÚÁÏÉç. He obtained his bachelor's degreeÌýfrom the University of Tokyo, Japan, and his master'sÌýand PhDÌýfrom the University of Maryland, College Park, all in AerospaceÌýEngineering. Before joining George Mason, ShishikaÌýwas a postdoctoralÌýresearcher in the GRASP Laboratory at the University of Pennsylvania. His researchÌýinterest is in the general area of autonomy, dynamics andÌýcontrols, and robotics.ÌýMore specifically, his past work has focused on multi-agent systems includingÌýanimal groups and swarms of autonomous vehicles. He is currently studyingÌýhow 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.
