Robotics and Autonomy
Our team utilizes novel control strategies, human-machine teaming, perception, and generative artificial intelligence to create intelligent robots that act with purpose in complex, adversarial environments.
Focus Areas
Perception and Controls
Enabling robots with human-quality decision making to maneuver through complex environments
Adversarial Robotics
Design uncrewed systems detect, characterize, and defeat adversary uncrewed systems
Multi-Agent Teaming
Optimizing human-machine teaming, including trust and assurance considerations
Extreme Robotics
Develop robots that persist in harsh environments and master novel performance envelopes
