The Land, Air, and Space Robotics (LASR) Laboratory atTexas A&M University serves as a key prototyping and testing facility for IDEAS² research. This aerospace engineering and robotics hub supports work in spacecraft proximity operations, autonomy, robotic sensing, swarm robotics, and tensegrity structures.
As the second lab utilized by the Texas A&M IDEAS² team, LASR provides the infrastructure and resources necessary to fabricate tensegrity structures, integrate and test deployment mechanisms, and conduct performance evaluations under controlled conditions. These capabilities accelerate the team’s progress in developing lightweight, adaptive, and reconfigurable systems for space applications.
