Autonomous Robotics and Human-Machine Systems
The aim of the group is to study novel control strategies for autonomous machines (robots) that are able to sense the environment, reason about it, and take actions to perform some tasks. Primary research objectives of the group include (but are not limited to):
- Study complex aggregations of autonomous robots, e.g., multiple heterogeneous systems
- Design original ways to let humans to co-operate with complex semi-autonomous robotic systems
- Ensure robot autonomy, onboard sensing and estimation, both indoor and outdoor
- Study novel ways of physical interaction between robots and nearby environment
