UMA Space Robotics Lab

The Space Robotics Lab is led by Carlos Pérez del Pulgar and David Rodríguez Martínez, and it belongs to the Department of Systems Engineering and Automation, and the Institute of Mechatronics and Cyber-Physical Systems, both at the University of Málaga. 

Our mission is to research novel methods and technologies that increase autonomy in applications that span planetary and orbital robotics. Our research fosters the transfer of robotic technologies between terrestrial and space. At the same time, the lab is committed to training future engineers in the field of space robotics by offering undergraduate and graduate students opportunities to participate in internships, thesis projects, and cutting-edge research activities. Most of our research projects are conducted in collaboration with national and international research institutions through joint initiatives and via technology transfer partnerships with industry and research organizations.
