Welcome to the Lab for Intelligent Robots and Agents (LIRA)! Our goal is to advance research on autonomous and intelligent systems with a focus on robots that interact with each other and humans. We primarily work at the intersection of robotics, artificial intelligence, and multi-agent systems, though we draw inspiration from other fields as well.
