New generations of sensor rich, massively distributed, embedded systems are being developed that have the potential for profound social, environmental, and economic change. These systems include networked automobiles that never fail, cooperating vehicle teams that perform search and rescue, and humanoid robots that will assist astronauts in space, or the elderly back on earth.  The objective of the MERS group is to revolutionize the way in which we create and control these new artifacts.

Research in the MERS group concentrates on model-based autonomy -- the creation of long-lived autonomous systems that are able to explore, command, diagnose and repair them selves using fast, commonsense reasoning. 

Current research focuses on the following areas, as listed under Projects:
