Lab for Intelligent Robots and Agents

Advancing autonomy through interdisciplinary research.

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 (AI), and multi-agent systems, though we draw inspiration from other fields as well.
