The Institute for Robotics & Autonomous Systems pioneers embodied intelligence — from dexterous manipulation to self-driving systems operating in open-world environments. Our laboratories span the full sensing-to-action stack.
Laboratories
Each lab operates independently with dedicated staff, shared institute infrastructure, and its own research agenda.
Learning manipulation policies from demonstration and interaction. Research on dexterous hands, tactile sensing, sim-to-real transfer, and generalizable robotic skills.
Perception, planning, and control for autonomous ground and aerial vehicles. Certification methods for safety-critical autonomy in unstructured environments.
Decentralized coordination, emergent collective behavior, and communication protocols for large-scale robot swarms and multi-agent systems.
