Past Projects

Autonomous Rover Technologies - Pursuing breakthroughs and insights into fundamental aspects of robot perception, navigation, position estimation, and integrated exploratory science from a robot.	Mars Autonomy - Long-distance marsrover navigation with minimal human intervention.
Robotic Antarctic Meteorite Search - Developing robots to search for meteorites in Antarctica, as an analog of a planetary exploration robot.	Sun Synchronous Navigation - We are developing the algorithms, technologies, and experiments that will fulfill the vision of sun-synchronous circumnavigation.
