MICO Lab
Welcome!
MICO lab was established within the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at George Mason University in August 2021.
Our primary research interest lies in the design of control, optimization, and learning algorithms for
large-scale multi-robot systems towards advanced autonomy/intelligence. The systems under consideration could also involve
human operators, with robots in the system adapting to human intervention and learning from human corrections. The target
applications include swarm robot coordination, autonomous driving, mobile sensor networks, smart power systems,
and the internet of things.
