Robust Autonomous Mobility Lab.

Welcome to the website of the [RO]bust [A]utonomous [M]obility Lab. (ROAM Lab). ROAM Lab is directed by Dr. Tolga Ozaslan , and our research focuses on enabling autonomy in mobile robotic platforms — especially in GPS-denied environments — through advanced perception and mapping systems.

We develop and investigate a wide range of technologies spanning:

• Visual-Inertial Odometry (VIO) and SLAM
• Sensor Fusion with LiDAR, cameras, IMUs, and event sensors
• State Estimation (e.g., UKF, Kalman Filters)
• Autonomous Navigation for aerial and ground vehicles
• Real-time 3D Mapping and environmental modeling
• Embedded AI systems and robotics platforms

Our lab designs modular embedded systems that combine heterogeneous sensors, real-time computing, and advanced autonomy capabilities. These systems are deployed in applications including:

• Search and rescue
• Defense
• Smart agriculture
• Infrastructure inspection

We are also committed to open-source development, industry collaboration, and mentoring the next generation of roboticists.
