Center for Autonomy Facilities
The Center for Autonomy (CfA) at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign manages several laboratories, spaces, and equipment dedicated to advancing research and education in robotics and autonomy. If you are a member of the university and would like to access these facilities please follow the instructions here.
Unique space for students to work together to design and construct robotic platforms, including a mechanical and electronics bench, dynamometer, battery chargers, and drone flight simulator training.
This testbed facility provides an open work area, 3000 sq ft, with a high ceiling for experimenting with large research equipment including autonomous vehicles and construction equipment.
Located in the east-wing of the CSL Studio, this offers a campus-wide shared research facility.
The Robotics Pavilion provides additional space for autonomy and robotics research and collaboration across campus involving robot manipulators and mobile robot experimentation.
A large (120'x60') motion-captured space for ground and aerial experiments (Pennsylvania Av).
This is a 30'x30'x15ft motion-capture volume used for tracking and gathering ground truth data for ariel and mobile robotic experimentation.
