AERIS Lab

Autonomous Experimental Robotics and Intelligent Systems Laboratory

NC State University · Department of Computer Science

Research Focus

The AERIS Lab develops theory, algorithms, and systems for autonomous vehicles operating in complex, resource-constrained environments. Our work spans real-time cyber-physical systems, multi-agent coordination, cooperative control, and field robotics—with emphasis on unmanned aerial systems (UAS) for defense, agriculture, and environmental monitoring.

Active Projects

CAREER

CAREER

Developing the analytical, computing, and tool foundations for autonomous vehicles that dynamically assess and adjust performance and resource allocation in real time.

ARCTIC

Advancing heterogeneous multi-robot systems for environmental monitoring of beaver-driven ecosystem change in Arctic tundra.

Carbon

Developing UAS-based cyber-physical systems for automated monitoring, reporting, and verification of soil carbon content, water content, and atmospheric conditions in agricultural settings.
