Cooperative robotics and distributed autonomy
Constela Nexus
Research into robots, drones and fixed sensors that work as one system, sharing what they see and dividing the work.

The problem
Today each robot solves sensing, localization, communication and navigation on its own. That makes every machine more expensive, and the whole system more fragile, than it needs to be.
Our approach
Nexus is a coordination architecture for mixed fleets: aerial vehicles, ground robots, fixed sensing nodes and deployable communication relays. Machines share perception, position and tasks, so what one platform sees can guide another.
What we are building first
Two autonomous agents cooperating through a shared communication and state-estimation architecture, first in simulation and then on physical hardware.
Research areas
- Multi-agent coordination and task allocation
- Cooperative localization and state estimation
- Navigation without GPS
- Resilient mesh communications
- Collaborative mapping
