About

Katrina Corley is a robotics researcher whose work sits at the intersection of autonomous systems, multi-robot coordination, and emergency response technology. She is best known for her contributions to the Reconnaissance and Autonomy for Small Robots (RASR) team, which competed in the MAGIC 2010 Challenge — a landmark effort to develop coordinated groups of unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) capable of executing complex, militarily relevant missions in dynamic urban environments. This work, which has accumulated nearly 20 citations across related publications, represented a significant step forward in reducing the operator burden traditionally associated with teleoperated ground robotics. Corley has also made meaningful contributions to disaster response robotics through the Department of Homeland Security-sponsored Sensor-smart Affordable Autonomous Robotic Platforms (SAARP) project at Robotic Research, LLC. Her research explored how 3D printing technology could be leveraged to rapidly produce affordable, adaptable robotic platforms for first responders — a practical and forward-thinking approach to emergency preparedness. Cited across multiple publication years, this body of work reflects Corley's commitment to translating advanced robotics research into real-world, mission-critical applications that serve both military and civilian needs.
