About

Christopher Paolini’s research focuses on the integration of robotics, intelligent systems, and web-based control architectures, with an emphasis on creating flexible, networked solutions for mobile robotic platforms. His major contributions include pioneering the use of CORBA for rapidly integrating heterogeneous robotic and manufacturing resources, demonstrated in his most-cited work, “Integration of a Robotics Laboratory using CORBA” (13 citations). He also advanced adaptive control by applying an ANFIS-based multi-sensor structure to manage nonlinear system dynamics in mobile robots, and developed an adaptive, Ajax-based streaming video service for the iRobot Create platform, enabling real-time teleoperation over infrastructure-mode 802.11 networks. Additionally, his work on web-based user interfaces for mobile robotic systems—featuring AJAX-driven, multi-sensor graphical interfaces—has enhanced human-robot interaction. While his citation counts reflect a specialized niche, Paolini’s contributions are notable for their practical integration of software frameworks (CORBA, FFMPEG) with hardware platforms, offering scalable, real-time solutions for telerobotics and sensor fusion. His research is particularly relevant for engineers and students exploring low-cost, web-enabled robotic systems for building environments.
