The Robotics Laboratory conducts both fundamental and practical research in the realm of computational mobile robotics. Our research endeavors encompass various aspects, including the design of robotic structures, the modeling of physical systems, simulation techniques, and the applied control of a diverse range of robotic systems—ranging from actuated and under-actuated to bionic robotics.
A significant focus of our group lies in exploring mechanical design, conducting mathematical analyses, and developing numerical models for physical robotic systems. Our research spans four distinct modalities: rolling, walking, swimming, and flying robots. This multifaceted approach allows us to delve deeply into the intricacies of each modality, contributing to a comprehensive understanding and advancement of robotic technologies.


About Us
The Robotics Laboratory, led by the Mechatronics research group and established in August 2007 by Dr. Edgar A. Martínez-García, is dedicated to fostering theoretical analysis, applied mathematical methodologies, computational simulation in robotics, and the practical implementation of experimental projects.
