MIT Research team

Our research covers all aspects of autonomous vehicles, mobile robotics and embedded systems, ranging from the algorithmic foundations to the development and deployment of state-of-the-art mobile robotic vehicles.  

Our research draws expertise from a wide body of literature in probability theory, stochastic processes, formal methods, information theory, optimization, control theory, machine learning, computer vision, computer graphics, computer architecture and integrated circuits. Our team includes a diverse set of backgrounds to make connections between these fields and create new ones at their intersections.

Our goal is to develop and apply foundational techniques in these domains to significantly advance the state of the art in autonomous systems.
