Engineering the
Future of Autonomy.

A simulation-first robotics lab at Michigan State University. We build 12-DOF autonomous quadrupeds for subterranean, GPS-denied, and unstructured environments.


The Mission

SAR is focused on three frontiers of modern robotics: subterranean navigation, swarm intelligence, and autonomy in GPS-denied environments. We operate as a startup-rigor engineering lab — documented, meritocratic, and accountable to the systems we ship.
