New Projects at the Robotics Institute
Sense and Avoid
We are developing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) that sense and avoid autonomously.
Needle Steering for Brain Surgery
We are developing high accuracy proportional steering of flexible needles for minimally invasive navigation in the brain.
PeepPredict
We are applying machine learning techniques to model and compute long-term and short-term trajectories of people in a variety of settings.
Simple but General Gripper
Designing simple grippers for autonomous general purpose manipulation.
RERC on Accessible Public Transportation
We are researching and developing methods to empower consumers and service providers in the design and evaluation of accessible transportation equipment, information services, and physical environments.
Fingersight
We are developing videotactile fingertip sensors which will enable people to interact with the visible world via their fingertips.
Grace
The Grace project is a collaboration among several schools and research labs to design a robot capable of fully performing the AAAI Grand Challenge.
Image Alignment
Image alignment with parameterized appearance models.
Low Dimensional Embeddings
Finding low dimensional embeddings of signals optimal for modeling, classification, visualization and clustering.
Learning Optimal Representations
Learning optimal representations for classification, image alignment, visualization and clustering.
Comprehensive Automation for Specialty Crops
CASC is a multi-institutional initiative led by Carnegie Mellon Robotics Institute to comprehensively address the needs of specialty agriculture focusing on apples and horticultural stock.
Snackbot
The Snackbot is a mobile robot designed to deliver food to the offices at CMU while engaging in meaningful social interaction.

A Computational Model for Repeated Pattern Perception using Crystallographic Groups
This project is developing a computational model for repeated pattern perception that is able to automatically classify a given pattern into one of the 7 frieze groups, one of the 17 wallpaper groups, or one of the 230 space groups.
A-Match
A-Match, the interface to the RETSINA Matchmaker, provides a web interface for users to advertise their agents, customize agents, find other agents, and query them.
Agent Storm
Agent Storm is a scenario where agents autonomously coordinate their team-oriented roles and actions while executing a mission.
AAMs with Occlusion
We are developing algorithms to construct AAMs from occluded training images and to efficiently fit AAMs to faces containing occlusion.
BeatBots
We are developing robots that can participate in coordinated rhythmic social interactions with people.
Google Lunar X Prize
We are part of a $30 million international competition to safely land a robot on the surface of the Moon, travel 500 meters over the lunar surface, and send images and data back to the Earth.
Magnetic Levitation Haptic Consortium
Low-cost, high-fidelity haptic magnetic levitation haptic interface systems for use by a consortium of haptics researchers in the United States
Evaluation of MSP Extraction Algorithms
The aim of this project is to evaluate different state-of-art algorithms for automatic extraction of the mid-sagital plane in brain images.
