Intelligent Autonomous Systems Laboratory

Location: ETAS 523    Director: Dr. Cang Ye    Phone: (501) 569-3093 

Ph.D. Opening in Mobile Robotics (Fall 2012)


The goal of the Intelligent Autonomous Systems Laboratory (IASL) is to create autonomous systems which are able to model their environments using onboard sensors and generate intelligent behaviors to complete their missions in unstructured environments. The systems are reconfigurable and evolutionary. They improve their performance while exploring the environments.

The current research efforts of the IASL focus on:

1. Mobile robot simultaneously localization and mapping in unstructured environments (3-D space)

2. 3-D range data processing and understanding for autonomous navigation

3. Machine learning for autonomous navigation in unstructured environments

We have open Ph.D. research positions in the above areas.
