CAST logo

At CAST, researchers from Caltech's Division of Engineering and Applied Science (EAS), Division of Geological and Planetary Sciences (GPS), and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) collaborate to create the next generation of autonomous systems, advancing the fields of drone research, autonomous exploration, and bio-inspired systems. Researchers will continue pioneering work on technologies ranging from prosthetic legs that use machine learning to flying, self-driven ambulances.


The Center for Autonomous Systems and Technologies (CAST) is an endowed center.
It was established through the generous support of Foster and Coco Stanback.
