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.
