Human-Robot Interaction Group - We are interested in
many aspects of human-robot interaction related to how humans and robots can work safely and
effectively together.
|
|
|
 |
DEPTHX: Deep Phreatic Thermal Explorer - The DEPTHX: Deep Phreatic Thermal Explorer project is developing an
autonomy for underwater explorers to enable them to map their
environment and plan and execute science investigations. The DEPTHX
vehicle will explore the flooded caverns of the Zacaton Cenote in
Mexico in 2006.
|
|
 |
Life in the Atacama - Robotic field investigation will bring new scientific understanding of the Atacama as a habitat for life with distinct analogies to Mars.
|
|
 |
LORAX: Life on Ice, Robotic Antarctic Explorer - The LORAX: Life on Ice, Robotic Antarctic Explorer project is preparing
technology for a robotic investigation of microorganisms surviving
within the near-surface ice of the Antarctic plateau.
|
|
 |
Lunar Rover for Polar Crater Exploration - The Scarab lunar rover has been designed to carry a 1-meter coring drill and a payload of science instruments that can analyze the abundance of hydrogen, oxygen and other materials.
|
|
 |
Science Autonomy - The Science Autonomy project seeks to improve the accuracy and
effectiveness of robotic planetary investigations by enabling automatic
detection of relevant science features, classification of feature
properties, and exploration planning that responds on-the-fly.
