  Overview

The MARS (Mobile Autonomous Robot Software)-2020 project is a DARPA-sponsored robotics research project concerned with robot teams of Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs) and Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs). These teams will rely on communication-sensitive: mission specification, planning, and behaviors, to cooperate and complete their task.
