Overview
The Robust Autonomy and Decisions group at the University of Edinburgh, led by Professor Subramanian Ramamoorthy, investigates learning, adaptation and control mechanisms that let autonomous robots cope with the uncertain and the unknown. Its focus areas include dexterous manipulation, human-robot interaction, active sensing and model learning, physics-informed machine learning, and the safety of autonomous systems, with healthcare technologies a current application interest.
