Robotics and Autonomy
Our team, primarily working in APL’s Intelligent Systems Center, utilizes novel control strategies, human-machine teaming, perception, and generative artificial intelligence to create intelligent robots that act with purpose in complex, adversarial environments.
Program Manager: Christopher Korpela
