Directed by Hamid Ossareh and Luis Duffaut Espinosa, the AIR Lab (Autonomous and Intelligent Systems Research Lab) addresses current challenges in autonomy and intelligence. The Lab's missions are to:

• Combine theory and practice to bring together research efforts and disseminate the knowledge gained in projects in the areas that encompass autonomy and intelligence; specifically control, robotics, signal processing, and artificial intelligence (AI)
• Establish new collaborations with local industry and funding agencies
• Inspire prospective students to pursue a career in intelligence and autonomy

AIR Lab's mission contributes to the missions of The University of Vermont, the College of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences, and the Department of Electrical and Biomedical Engineering.
