Robotic Systems Laboratory
Research in our laboratory focuses on underwater robotic vehicles,
real-time autonomous systems, modular robotics, co-operative
robot systems, mobile robot navigation, active vision, robot
learning, human-robot interaction, friction-based robot-environment
interaction, and autonomous formation control. The main research
areas in the department of systems engineering are robust control
systems, hybrid control, systems optimization, vision systems,
robotic manipulation, signal processing, and autonomous robotics.

MSI Research
Institute
Over more than a decade the MSI Research Institute has been
a major contributor to international developments in Enterprise
Modelling and Enterprise Integration. Its systems modelling
and integration concepts, methods and software tools have been
applied with respect to many large-scale manufacturing, engineering,
logistical and business systems. Currently MSI has around 25
research staff and students whose work is funded jointly by
government and industry. The Institute's researchers have leading
edge expertise in areas of: systems engineering and change;
business process modelling visualisation and analysis; human
systems design and enactment; machine and software component
design and implementation; workflow management; and internet-enabled
distribution of design, engineering and
monitoring services. |

Model-Based Embedded
and Robotic Systems Group
New generations of sensor rich, massively distributed, embedded
systems are being developed that have the potential for profound
social, environmental, and economic change. These systems include
networked automobiles that never fail, cooperating vehicle teams
that perform search and rescue, and humanoid robots that will
assist astronauts in space, or the elderly back on earth. The
objective of the MERS group is to revolutionize the way in which
we create and control these new artifacts. Research in the MERS
group concentrates on model-based autonomy -- the creation of
long-lived autonomous systems that are able to explore, command,
diagnose and repair them selves using fast, commonsense reasoning.

HAHI Lab -Robonaut
Robonaut is a humanoid robot designed by the Robot Systems Technology
Branch at NASA's Johnson Space Center in a collaborative effort
with DARPA. The Robonaut project seeks to develop and demonstrate
a robotic system that can function as an EVA astronaut equivalent.
Robonaut jumps generations ahead by eliminating the robotic
scars (e.g., special robotic grapples and targets) and specialized
robotic tools of traditional on-orbit robotics. However, it
still keeps the human operator in the control loop through its
telepresence control system. Robonaut is designed to be used
for "EVA" tasks, i.e., those which were not specifically
designed for robots.

Aerospace Robotics
Laboratory
Research in the ARL focuses on improving robotic performance
through the application of feedback control, integrated sensing
systems, and task-level autonomy. All of the research is developed
and validated on experimental hardware systems. These systems
include both mobile robots (land, sea, sky, and space) and a
variety of fixed anipulators for space and factory applications.
