Autonomous Rover Technologies - Pursuing breakthroughs and insights into fundamental aspects of robot perception, navigation, position estimation, and integrated exploratory science from a robot.	Federation of Intelligent Robotic Explorers Project - We are investigating and understanding fundamental issues in heterogeneous multi-robot coordination.
Lunar Rover Initiative - first interactive space exploration event	Mercator - Cooperative Multi-Robot Mapping and Planning
Meta Level Planning - Meta-level reasoning for autonomous indoor and outdoor mobile robots.	Personal Robotic Assistants For The Elderly - Pearl will help researchers explore the ways autonomous mobile robots can help the elderly live independently in their own homes.
Robotic All Terrain Lunar Exploration Rover - Ratler is a battery-powered, four-wheeled, skid-steered vehicle used as a testbed to develop the remote driving techniques needed for a lunar mission.	Robotic Antarctic Meteorite Search - Developing robots to search for meteorites in Antarctica, as an analog of a planetary exploration robot.
Vikia - We are developing a robot who has personality and with whom it is easy to communicate.
