The Multi-Agent Robotic Systems (MARS) Lab is directed by Prof. Mo Chen in the School of Computing Science, Simon Fraser University.
Our research focuses on principled robotic decision making, centred around combining traditional analytical methods in robotics and modern data-driven techniques. We address theoretical and computational challenges in robotic safety, connect control-theoretic algorithms with perception and machine learning, and bridge the gap between theory and practical implementation.
Through incorporating prior knowledge and understanding of robotic systems into decision making algorithms to make robots safer and smarter, we aspire to enable more widespread use of robotic systems such as autonomous cars, unmanned aerial vehicles, and personal robots, especially in the presence of people in uncontrolled environments.
Prospective students with a strong background in computer science and mathematics interested in joining the MARS Lab should email Prof. Mo Chen with resume/CV and transcript attached.
