Welcome to the Trustworthy Autonomous Systems Laboratory at the University of California, Riverside! 

The ultimate goal of our research is to build trustworthy, interactive, and human-centered autonomous agents that can perceive, understand, and reason about the physical world; safely interact and collaborate with humans and other agents, and clearly explain their behaviors to build trust with humans so that they can benefit society in daily lives. To achieve this goal, we have been pursuing interdisciplinary research and unifying the techniques and tools from robotics, machine learning, reinforcement learning, explainable AI, control theory, optimization, and computer vision. The lab is directed by Prof. Jiachen Li. Lab members consist of students with diverse backgrounds in engineering, computer science, and mathematics.

Our lab is actively seeking multiple highly motivated talents to join us as Ph.D. students (fully funded), master students, undergraduate students, onsite/remote research interns (outside of UC Riverside), visiting scholars, or postdoctoral researchers. If you are interested in joining us, please follow the application instructions on the Join Us page.
