The Autonomous Robots and Systems Laboratory (ARSL) is part of the Mechanical Engineering and Engineering Science Department. Our research is in the area of aerospace and ocean vehicle guidance, dynamics, control and path planning.

Research areas of expertise include:
(1) Marine/aerial robotics: novel system designs and autonomy algorithms
(2) Vehicles in complex disturbances: modeling, flow estimation, path optimization, and disturbance rejection control
(3) Multi-robot systems: coordination/control and automated/adaptive data collection
(4) Vehicle trajectory optimization: optimal-control-based path planning, sampling-based motion planning
