The laboratory addresses all the aspects involved in developing a robotic and mechatronic system, from designing mechanical components to control systems and custom software developement. <h4> THE LAB RESEARCH FOCUS </h4> The main focus of the laboratory is to develop new open-architecture, reconfigurable and adaptive robotic systems. Modular and reconfigurable Robots developed at the IEL use state-of-the art mechatronic components and sensors and are controlled by microcontrollers with open-architecture. The laboratory has many commercial robotic systems and studies them to develop new robotic architectures and applications. The laboratory is equipped with a 3D printer for rapid prototyping of new mechanical designs. All the systems developed at the IEL are programmed using the C/C++ programming language and the C/C++ interpreter Ch. This homogeneous programming framework can symultaneously control heterogeneous robotic platforms. <h4> APPLICATIONS </h4> The robotic platforms developed at the IEL are applied in different fields: K-12 Education through the UC Davis C-STEM Center, autonomous navigation, mobile agents computing, robotic simulation and web-based conputing. <p> <HR> <ADDRESS> <a href="http://www.easycounter.com/"> <img src="http://www.easycounter.com/counter.php?mycounter168" border="0" alt="Hit Counters"></a> <A HREF="mailto:Webservice(at)iel.ucdavis.edu"> webservice(at)iel.ucdavis.edu</ADDRESS> </A> </HTML>
