ASRL Mission
ASRL
Welcome to the Autonomous Space Robotics Lab (ASRL) at the University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies. The purpose of ASRL's research is to enable space and terrestrial applications of mobile robots. We are currently focussed on developing vision-based navigation to allow mobile robots to drive in outdoor, unstructured environments over long periods of time.
Please explore the People section below to view ongoing research within ASRL.
