ARClab

Welcome to the Advanced Robotics and Controls Lab at UCSD

The Advanced Robotics and Controls Lab (ARClab) at UCSD is holistically dedicated to robot design and control and artifical intelligence. Key areas of research are in:


> Surgical robots for semi-autonomous and image-guided surgery,
> Biomimetic robots for conservation and terrestrial/ocean exploration, and
> Robot learning for interacting with the world around us.

The group is directed by Professor Michael Yip.
