Systems & Control

A Reactive System for Off-Road Autonomous Driving - We have developed an integrated obstacle avoidance system for on-road driving for avoiding discrete obstacles, or for off-road driving for avoiding untraversable regions of terrain.	Ambler - We are developing the Ambler, a six-legged walking robot that addresses the challenges of exploring rugged terrains, acquiring samples, and avoiding dangerous situations.
Automated Field-Container Handling System - Develop a containerized plant handling system for nursery growers	Autonomous Extra-vehicular Robotic Camera - Aercam is a flying soccer-ball sized spacecraft with a camera allowing remote inspection of the future space station and the Space Shuttle.
Distributed Architecture for Mobile Navigation - The Distributed Architecture for Mobile Navigation (DAMN) is a behavior-based architecture similar in spirit to the Subsumption Architecture.	Hand Exoskeleton - We are developing an exoskeletal hand for patients suffering from a loss of precise control in the upper limbs and hands.
Localization with Mobile Robots	Real-Time Communications - robust communications for high bandwidth real-time systems
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.	Robotics Simulation Support - NREC is collaborating with RAND Corporation to incorporate the latest in NREC's field-proven robotic mobility models and planning software into RAND's suite of high-resolution, force-on-force simulators enabling rigorous analysis of scenarios involving robotic systems.
Terregator - We developed the Terregator to serve as a testbed machine for a wide variety of projects.	Wide Area Prospecting Using Supervised Autonomous Robots - We are developing teams of telesupervised autonomous prospecting robots for the planned NASA Lunar and Martian colonies.
