The Mobile Robotics group at MCS lab designs and develops all-terrain autonomous/remote controlled mobile robots that are able to conduct real-time task-specific actions in hazardous environments for a wide range of applications (space exploration, reconnaissance, security, surveillance, education, entertainment, etc.).The group has successfully developed several wheeled and legged prototypes. The group is also involved in supervising students for robotics competitions.
