Welcome to Professor Sastry's web page for the Micro Autonomous Systems and Technology (MAST) project!
An interdisciplinary and multi-university research team is developing a robotic sensor network for deployment in disaster areas. By coupling novel small-scale robots with recent work in networked and embedded systems we aim to create a heterogeneous mobile sensor network capable of autonomously navigating through unstructured adversarial environments and relaying useful information to a human operator.
