Developed in conjuction with the Robotics Resesarch Lab at UNR, MR.I is a real-time control interface which serves to manage autonomous robotic agents. MR.I is uniquely characterised by its ability to direct not only one, but multiple agents at any given time.

The demand for research and development with autonomous robotics is vastly expanding within current technological trends. With such demand comes the need for a standard interface from which users can control robotic agents. The concept behind MR. I is to provide such an interface that not only can control single units, but groups of robots from many different manufacturing types; hence the name Multi-Robotic Interface (MR. I). The graphical interface offers an environment giving users the capability to control and assign unique functionality to each robot. This environment is displayed as a 2-dimensional area map with each robot shown in its current location relative to the map, while an overlay exhibits user options along with all robot functions. Behind the scenes, the MR. I application is a modular, aspect oriented engine which is well suited for developers to modify robot functions without having to alter the application executable itself. Therefore, MR. I will act as a viable solution to meet the needs of developers while providing an organized, productive interface for users of all experience levels.
