ARClab

Welcome to the Advanced Robotics and Controls Lab (ARClab) at UCSD

The Advanced Robotics and Controls Lab (ARClab) at UCSD is dedicated to the design and control of surgical robots for semi-autonomous and image-guided surgery, biomimetic robots for conservation and terrestrial/ocean exploration, and multi-manipulator robot learning for interacting with the world around us.The group is directed by Professor Michael Yip.
