Led by renowned roboticist Dr. Robert Ambrose, former chief of Software, Robotics and Simulation at NASA’s Johnson Space Center, the Robotics and Automation Design (RAD) Lab at Texas A&M empowers student‑driven teams to create prototypes of resilient robots for space and terrestrial missions. Building on the Robonaut legacy with new platforms like RoboBall, the lab advances safe human‑robot collaboration and systems built for harsh environments. In an immersive, hands‑on culture that values rapid prototyping and character‑driven teamwork, @tamuengineering students develop mechanical, electrical and software expertise while testing rovers and mobile robots on realistic terrains at the Texas A&M Space Institute’s Marsscape and moonscape.
