Intelligent Robotics

The Intelligent Robotics Group (IRG) explores extreme environments, remote locations, and uncharted worlds. We conduct applied research in computer vision, geospatial data systems, human-robot interaction, planetary mapping and robot software.IRG has developed the Astrobee free-flying robot, the "K-REX" and "K10" series of planetary rovers (slideshow, fact sheet), and the SUPERball Bot tensegrity robot. We conduct robotic field tests each year in planetary analog sites, such as Black Point Lava Flow and Haughton Crater.
