GROUP: Mobility and Manipulation (3473)
underline
 
The Mobility and Manipulation Group develops concepts and technology for mobile and articulated space and terrestrial robotic systems. The group designs and models systems and implements sensing and control for research and flight applications. Customers include NASA and other Government agencies. Specifically, the group provides:

  • Design and deployment of in-situ instrument placement and sample acquisition systems
  • Design and deployment of sensor-based, task-level and supervisory control systems
  • Modeling of robots, their environments, and robot-environment interaction
  • Implementation of coordinated motion planning
  • Development of concepts for mobile and articulated robotic systems
  • Development of teleoperated control systems
  • Coordinated motion planning, including multi-robot and multi-limb systems
  • State estimation of robotic systems and their environments
  • Fault protection and recovery for robotic systems
