Current Projects

Autonomous Mobile Assembly - The ACE project is concerned with autonomous mobile assembly.	Comprehensive Automation for Specialty Crops - CASC is a multi-institutional initiative led by Carnegie Mellon Robotics Institute to comprehensively address the needs of specialty agriculture focusing on apples and horticultural stock.
Distributed Robot Architectures - The primary objective of this project is to develop fundamental capabilities that enable multiple, distributed, heterogeneous robots to coordinate tasks that cannot be accomplished by the robots individually.	EMBER - The Ember project uses multi-agent teams, comprised of autonomous and human agents, to achieve effective results under emergency situations.
TRESTLE: Autonomous Assembly by Teams of Coordinated Robots - The TRESTLE project is developing the architectural framework necessary to coordinate robots performing complex assembly projects.	Unmanned Ground Vehicle for Security - We are developing autonomous ATVs to secure borders and facility perimeters.
Xavier - Perceptual, reasoning and learning abilities in autonomous mobile robots
