Research Summary

The lab is broadly interested in designing and controlling autonomous robots within complex environments, with a special focus on aquatic settings. We are passionate about developing advanced control and perception algorithms that enable robots to autonomously navigate challenging environments and collaborate when necessary. We also explore unconventional designs and bio-inspired approaches to address key challenges in aquatic locomotion, sensing, control, and collective behavior. Our mission is to enable trustworthy and coordinated autonomy for a broad range of robotics applications, including but not limited to, aquatic monitoring, oceanic exploration, underwater construction, and urban transportation.
