<p>The Autonomy Lab's research goal is to increase the capabilities, robustness and overall autonomy of mobile robot systems. Our research has these main themes:
<ul>
<li> applying the latest AI-based sensing techniques to robot navigation and human-robot interaction
<li> creating tools and techniques for programming, simulating and evaluating populations of robots
<li> applying models of animal behavior to extend or improve robots, particularly multi-robot systems
</ul>
The Lab is directed by <a href="http://www.cs.sfu.ca/~vaughan">Richard Vaughan</a>. Our computer systems are managed by <a href="http://sepehr.im">Sepehr MohaimenianPour</a>.
<p>Part of the <a href="http://ncfrn.mcgill.ca">NSERC Canadian Field Robotics Network</a>
