Facilities

The Robotics Lab at UC Merced, established in 2007 by Professor Stefano Carpin, investigates topics related to multi-robot systems and humaniod robots. Examples of past and ongoing research include:

  • Cooperative multi-robot systems for urban search and rescue
  • Pursuit-evasion games and intruder detection
  • Robotic search
  • Robot performance evaluation and benchmarking
  • Multi-robot map merging
  • Cooperative manipulation

Merced also hosts the Computer Graphics Lab, established in 2006 to pursue novel multidisciplinary research topics an Interactive Immersive Environments, Computer Animation and Simulation, and Humanoid Robotics.
