Autonomous and Unmanned Vehicle Systems Laboratory (AUVSL)

AUVSL develops solutions for real world government and industry problems, with a goal of building a technology pipeline from research to commercialization. We use multi-disciplinary approaches and state of the art technologies in systems engineering, machine learning, vision systems, mechatronics, controls, expert systems, dynamic modeling, industrial engineering, and sensor fusion. Our goal is to create a modular, systems-based approach to developing complete offroad autonomous navigation and task completion package.
