Welcome to the Safe Robotics Lab @ GT!
We build full-stack robotic systems that are not only safe, but also SAFE: Smart, Agile, Flexible, and Engaging. Our long-term goal is to enable widespread, safe robot deployment to understand how, when, and where society wants and needs robots.
The SRL explores, develops, and implements methods in every part of a robot’s autonomy stack: hardware, perception, planning, and control. We seek to decouple the safety and performance tradeoff, making robots that can not just accomplish difficult tasks but also guarantee that they meet constraints while doing so. To accomplish this goal we use novel designs, formal methods, and learning techniques to ensure that uncertain autonomous systems can safely achieve tasks to benefit humanity.
Robotics should be by everyone, for everyone.
The Safe Robotics Lab strives to not just build better robots,
but also better roboticists.
