Seed Research Program

CRUSER supports NPS faculty research focused on all aspects of robotics and intelligent autonomous systems.  Our annual Call for Proposals is released in summer, with selections announced in the fall. 

CRUSER has been seeding research since 2011. For past Annual Reports with project summaries, see the list below.
