  Overview

The Micro Autonomous Systems and Technology (MAST) project is a multi-university long term project examining miniature multi-robot systems capable of sensing, navigation, communication, and cooperation.

Specifically, the Mobile Robot Laboratory is focusing on:

  1. Integrating the MissionLab specification system with USARSim and Gazebo simulation packages
  2. Implementing 3D behaviors and primitives such as 3D navigation, obstacle avoidance, etc.
  3. Architectural design
