Current technological developments bring us closer to the time where teams of robots can be used in a variety of contexts, enhancing human capabilities in disaster response scenarios, search and rescue missions, environmental monitoring, adaptive sampling, service robotics, and smart buildings and infrastructure. Work on distributed robotics at the MURO Lab is helping make this vision a reality by designing, analyzing, and implementing motion planning strategies and distributed coordination algorithms on autonomous multi-agent robotic networks performing spatially-distributed tasks.
