Automated Data Capture in Indoor Construction Environments

Reliable objective (i.e., cost, time, and scope) assessment of architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) projects requires reliable data with...

Self-Driving Cars

As part of the SAE Autodrive Challenge, students in our lab will be working on designing, developing, and testing a self-driving car over the next...

Music in Motion: Dancing Quadrocopters

This project features agile, multi-vehicle flight performances that are designed and executed to music. We develop motion planning, control and...

Aerial Robotics for Mining

In this project we aim to develop UAV based monitoring and data acquisition solutions that enable efficient and timely decision-making for...

Counter-Gust System for Hybrid Aerial Vehicles

The project objective of this project is to design and implement an automatic crosswind stabilization system for a new, hybrid aerial vehicle...

Aerial and Ground Robot Racing

This project explores the physical limits of ground and aerial robots. When operating robots in these regimes, unknown dynamic effects (for example,...

Waterfly: Aerial Environmental Monitoring

We developed a swarm of drones that can communicate with each other and help with data retrieval for environmental monitoring. The drones fly in sync...

The Flying Drum Machine

We developed a quadrotor aerial vehicle that can be used as a musical instrument. Using the idea of interactions based on physical contact, a system...
