		Advanced Mechatronics Lab (AML) Head: Pradeep Khosla Mailing address: Carnegie Mellon University Robotics Institute 5000 Forbes Avenue Pittsburgh, PA 15213 Location: NSH B512 Associated center(s) / consortia:  National Robotics Engineering Center (NREC) Lab Homepage This page last updated - March 2009.

Overview

The goal of research in the AML is to develop the enabling technologies for "Rapidly Deployable Systems" through composition (using hardware and software building blocks) and collaboration (amongst autonomous hardware and software agents). Our vision of an intelligent system involves several specialized components (hardware or software) that can be rapidly composed to create a system and collaborate with each other to achieve the desired behavior. We are currently pursuing the research areas of Distributed Informations Systems, Distributed Robotics Systems, Distributed Design Systems, Intelligent Instruments, Sensor Based Robotics, and Reconfigurable Systems to meet the goal.
