Negar Mehr
Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering
Develops control algorithms for autonomous systems that interact with each other and with humans, drawing on game theory.
Negar Mehr's lab at UC Berkeley works on autonomous vehicles & drones, planning, control & multi-robot systems and reasoning & neuro-symbolic AI. 21 papers since 2023, 8 at top venues, mostly RSS and T-RO. 9 PhD students. 2 alumni, most often to Woven by Toyota. Jean-Baptiste worked on the resilience of autonomous systems by leveraging reinforcement learning. Applications close .
