Research Team

Our research covers all aspects of autonomous vehicles, mobile robotics and embedded systems, ranging from the algorithmic foundations to the development and deployment of state-of-the-art robotic vehicles. Our research draws expertise from  probability theory, stochastic processes, formal methods, optimization, information theory, control theory, and integrated circuits. Our goal is to develop and apply foundational techniques in these domains to significantly advance the state of the art in autonomous systems.
