About
C. Plasberg is a robotics researcher whose work spans real-time distributed robotic control, robot health estimation, and autonomous systems for complex environments. A central thread throughout their research is the modernization of robotic control architectures — moving away from monolithic, manufacturer-locked controllers toward open, customizable frameworks built on ROS2. Their most-cited work, "Performance Evaluation of Real-Time ROS2 Robotic Control in a Time-Synchronized Distributed Network" (2021, 31 citations), demonstrates the feasibility of real-time capable communication in distributed robotic systems, a long-standing limitation of its predecessor ROS1. Complementing this, Plasberg has pioneered robot self-awareness through unsupervised anomaly detection and health estimation using Gaussian Mixture Models, enabling robots to assess their own capabilities and take more confident, risk-informed actions — particularly valuable for field and service robots in hazardous environments. Their portfolio extends into multi-robot team autonomy, adaptive locomotion recovery in damaged legged robots, environmental hazard mapping, and AI-driven on-orbit assembly planning. With over 85 citations across a focused body of work, Plasberg represents an emerging voice in intelligent, resilient, and autonomy-aware robotic systems.
