<h3>About</h3>
<p>The Robotics Algorithms & Autonomous Systems (RAAS) Lab is part of the <a href="https://umd.edu/">University of Maryland</a>. Previously, the lab was located at <a href="http://vt.edu/">Virginia Tech</a>.</p>
<p>We design algorithms and build systems to enable teams of robots to act as sensing agents. Our research is at the intersection of theory and systems and is motivated by real-world applications to environmental monitoring, infrastructure inspection, and precision agriculture.</p>
<p>The lab is affiliated with the <a href="http://cs.umd.edu/">Department of Computer Science</a>, <a href="http://umiacs.edu/">UMIACS</a>, and the <a href="http://robotics.umd.edu/">Maryland Robotics Center</a> at the University of Maryland.</p>
