Research
Five research areas covering aerial, ground, underwater, multi-agent, and neuro-robotic systems.
Aircraft
The Aircraft group investigates issues related to Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), a scientific platform deployed widely for GIS, agricultural, search & rescue, meteorological and general research purposes.

Mobile Robots
The Mobile Robotics group endows moving mobile platforms with the capability of distinguishing between static background and dynamic foreground, and develops cooperative perception methods. Research areas include human walking detection, tracking moving objects, and multi-robot environmental perception in populated indoor settings.

Multi-Agent Systems
The Multi-Agent Systems group works on navigation and collision avoidance algorithms, with Air Traffic Control as a key application. Collaborative work is conducted with the John Lygeros group at ETH.

Neurorobotics
Research in this group focuses on the control of robotic manipulators and hands with anthropomorphic characteristics. The team captures human arm and hand motion to design bio-inspired control systems and uses peripheral nervous system signals (sEMG) for teleoperation.

Underwater Robots
The Underwater Robotics group addresses semi-autonomous ROV and AUV navigation and control in complex underwater environments affected by nonlinear hydrodynamics and disturbances such as waves and currents. Work covers sensor fusion, localization, target tracking, and visual servoing for ship inspections, seabed mapping, and underwater manipulation. Current project: PANDORA.
