Description

We focus on developing algorithms and systems for versatile real-world aerial manipulation applications. Our wonderful teammates are working on all aspects of robotics, including imitation learning, reinforcement learning, motion planning, control, perception (vision, tactile, SLAM, etc.), hardware design, and system integration. We believe highly motivated students with different backgrounds can all find a place in the project.
