Field Robotics

Field Robotics is the use of mobile robots in field environments such as work sites and natural terrain, where the robots must safeguard themselves while performing non-repetitive tasks and objective sensing as well as self-navigation in dynamic environments.

The Field Robotics Center within the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University is changing the world by actualizing robots at work. There will continue to be a fundamental shift in the way we build, secure, sustain, power and feed the world. Robots will be established as tools for craft, labor and hazardous duty on Earth, the Moon and beyond.
