Research Areas

The Moon Lab at IISER Bhopal focuses on engineering cognitive architectures for autonomous systems, bridging the gap between perception, learning, and control in unstructured environments.

Our work spans five core areas of robotics and artificial intelligence:

01 — Swarm Intelligence

Multi-Robot Systems

Focuses on the coordination and decision-making of distributed robotic teams, including cooperative control, swarm navigation, and pursuit-evasion games.
