About

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, centered 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 interested in joining the MARS Lab are invited to complete the Prospective Student Form.
