Biomimetics Millisystem Lab
The goal of the Biomimetics Millisystem Lab is to harness features of animal manipulation, locomotion, sensing, actuation, mechanics, dynamics, and control strategies to radically improve millirobot capabilities.

Berkeley Automation Sciences Lab
UC Berkeley's Automation Sciences Lab, directed by Professor Ken Goldberg of IEOR and EECS, is a center for research in robotics and automation, with current projects in networked telerobotics, computer assisted surgery, automated manufacturing, and new media artforms.

BErkeley AeRobot (BEAR)
Research for this project includes the Berkeley unmanned rotorcraft, scalable architecture, autonomous vs. human control, coordinated flight, autonomous collision avoidance, nonlinear modal predictive control for UAVs in a Dynamic Environment.

Heterogenous Sensor Networks
Heterogeneous Sensor Webs for Automated Target Recognition and Tracking in Urban Terrain.

Tele-Immersion @ UC Berkeley
Tele-immersion is aimed to enable users in geographically distributed sites to collaborate in real time in a shared simulated environment as if they were in the same physical room.

Computer Vision Group
Research on Computer Vision including perceptual organization, object recognition and learning, stereo drive, road watch, and texture and recognition of human motions and gestures.

Silicon Microrobots
The solar-powered 10 mg silicon microrobot was used to demonstrate that an autonomous robot could be built from silicon fabrication technologies.

Past Projects
