About

Alexander B. Maxseiner is a robotics researcher whose work centers on the development of novel aerial platforms and advanced communication systems for multi-agent systems. His primary research areas include miniature autonomous blimps, robotic swarms, and visible light communications (VLC). Maxseiner’s most notable contribution is the design and validation of miniature autonomous blimps for indoor applications, a platform that offers significant advantages over traditional drones—including extended flight times and collision-resilient soft envelopes, making them ideal for safe human-robot interaction in confined spaces. His 2022 paper on this topic has garnered 6 citations and is accompanied by a video presentation, underscoring its practical impact. In parallel, Maxseiner has advanced swarm robotics through his work on VLC, demonstrating how camera-based LED communication can simultaneously provide agent localization and message reception—a dual-function solution that streamlines coordination in robotic swarms. His 2021 paper on this subject, with 4 citations, addresses a critical bottleneck in swarm scalability. By integrating hardware design with communication protocols, Maxseiner is shaping the future of lightweight, resilient, and perceptive robotic systems.
