Top Tier Multidisciplinary Research at the Edge of Technology

Multi-Robot Systems

Our main interests are in the areas of decentralized control, collaborative and heterogeneous multi-robot systems, and blockchain for distributed robotic systems

Autonomous Robots

Our research focuses in localization and mapping in dense urban environments, mapping of unstructured environments, computational offloading, and hardware accelerators for ROS.

Edge Computing

From the definition of novel edge computing architectures to the deployment of artificial intelligence at the edge, our research focus is on embedded and distributed intelligence.
