Welcome to Robotics at UC Merced.
The robotics lab at UC Merced was established in 2007 by Prof. Stefano Carpin. The group investigates topics related to multi-robot systems and robot algorithms. Examples of past and ongoing research include:
- cooperative multi-robot systems for urban search and rescue;
- pursuit-evasion games, intruder detection, and search;
- robot performance evaluation and benchmarking;
- motion planning;
- map merging;
- grasp planning.
Check our publications page for details.
The robotics lab is part of CAIS -- the Center for Autonomous and Interactive Systems.
Applications accepted for the 2017 NASA Swarmathon competition.
After a six-year lull, the UC Merced robotics group returns to robotic contests. We will participate in the 2017 NASA swarmathon physical competition (more details here). Current UCM undergraduate students interested in participating are encouraged to contact Prof. Carpin via email.
