About AIRoCS

The AI, Robotics, and Control Systems (AIRoCS) Group advances the science of safe, data-efficient, and trustworthy robot intelligence. Our research spans certified learning and control, collective and swarm intelligence, and geometry- and physics-informed representations for adaptive robots.

We integrate visuo-tactile and force-vision fusion for perception-action learning and explore human-robot interaction through telepresence and immersive robotics. Together, these efforts aim to endow robots with autonomy that is both intelligent and verifiably safe across diverse environments.

Research directions

Robotics intelligence from theory to deployment

We connect formal foundations, embodied perception, and real-world robotic systems.

01

Safe Learning and Control

Certified learning, control barrier functions, and verification methods for robots that must adapt while preserving safety and stability.
