Past SRI Projects

• Anthropocentric Robotics - The goal of this project is to improve human-robot interaction by using anthropological resesarch methods to study how people think about robots.
• Autonomous Rover Technologies - Pursuing breakthroughs and insights into fundamental aspects of robot perception, navigation, position estimation, and integrated exploratory science from a robot.
• Robotic Antarctic Meteorite Search - Developing robots to search for meteorites in Antarctica, as an analog of a planetary exploration robot.
• Skyworker - Skyworker is an assembly, inspection, and maintenance robot that will softly and autonomously transport and manipulate payloads of kilograms to tons over kilometer distances.
• Solar Blade Solar Sail - CMU is embarking on an effort to fly the first solar sail, a spacecraft that utilizes solar radiation pressure as its only means of propulsion and attitude control.
