The KAUST Robotics, Intelligent Systems, and Control Lab (KAUST RISC Lab) focuses on all aspects of robotics and embedded intelligence. RISC is engaged in a variety of projects involving intelligent autonomous systems either acting alone or within a distributed decision architecture with other autonomous agents and/or human actors. Representative topics of interest include aerial operations, underwater mapping and manipulation, robotic self-maintenance and regeneration, safe intelligence, and intelligent prothesis design.

Our research follows the broad themes of:

  • Autonomy: Design of robotic systems with onboard intelligence to operate in complex environments with limited human supervision.
  • Distributed Autonomy: Self-organization and adaptation of multi-agent autonomous systems and swarms.
  • Humans & Machines:  Systems where humans and robots collaborate.
  • Robotic technologies: positioning, actuation, computer architectures, software engineering, cybernetics, and artificial intelligence.
