We are the Autonomous Multi-Robots Lab!

Our main research interests are in navigation, motion planning, learning, and control of autonomous mobile robots, and teams thereof, that interact with other robots and humans in dynamic and uncertain environments.

We contribute novel methods and solutions in the areas of motion planning, dynamic vehicle routing, multi-robot coordination, multi-robot learning, task assignment, active perception, formation control, collision avoidance and human-swarm interaction. Building towards the smart industries and cities of the future, we apply these techniques in various fields, including autonomous cars, automated factories, aerial vehicles, autonomous vessels, mobile manipulation and intelligent transportation systems with ride-sharing.
