Agile Robotics and Perception Lab
The Agile Robotics and Perception Lab performs fundamental and applied research in the area of robotics autonomy. The main mission of the lab is to create agile autonomous machines that can navigate all by themselves using only onboard sensors such as in unstructured, and dynamically changing environments and without relying on external infrastructure, such as GPS or motion capture systems. The machines need to be active, they should collaborate with humans and between each other and they need to navigate in the unknown environment extracting the best knowledge from it.

Machines in Motion Lab
The laboratory aims to understand the fundamental principles of robotic movements and to develop general algorithms that allow robots to autonomously act in unknown environments in a robust, safe and adaptable manner. The lab is specially interested in robots that can walk, climb and manipulate objects. It conducts research at the intersection of automatic control, machine learning, optimization and their application to physical systems.
