Reliable intelligence for the physical world.
EPIC Lab studies how machines perceive, estimate, and reason about the real world — so robots can operate reliably under uncertainty.
We develop robotic systems that better serve people — from search & rescue to human augmentation in dangerous or inaccessible environments.
Our mission is to enable robots and intelligent devices to understand their surroundings and to navigate autonomously, safely, and efficiently in unknown environments.
