Our mission is to research the fundamental challenges of robotics and computer vision that will benefit all of humanity. Our key interest is to develop autonomous machines that can navigate all by themselves using only onboard cameras and computation, without relying on external infrastructure, such as GPS or position tracking systems, nor off-board computing. Our interests encompass predominantly micro drones because they are more challenging and offer more research opportunities than ground robots. Your responsibilities
  • Continuous improvements of our robotic systems
  • Maintaining a fleet of quadrotors and a set of robot demos
  • Setting up and conducting experiments in the lab and in the field
  • Code reviewing, code optimization, and implementation of new features
