The Center for Autonomy brings together several research groups that address fundamental challenges in developing autonomous systems through contributions in controls, machine learning, game theory, information theory, and formal methods. Its primary objective is to create a unified front in attracting the best researchers to UT Austin and empowering them to solve the pressing problems toward developing autonomous systems that can make a net positive impact.
Other groups included in the Center are: Networked Control Systems Lab, Visual Informatics Group, CLeAR group, and the Nonlinear Estimation and Autonomy Research Group.
The Center's work is supported by the NSF, NASA, Army, Air Force, Navy, DARPA and Sandia National Laboratories.
