About
Gregory Miles is a leading figure in field robotics, specializing in autonomous navigation and perception for extreme environments. His most impactful work centers on the development of **NeBula**, a groundbreaking autonomy framework designed for the DARPA Subterranean Challenge. As a core member of **TEAM CoSTAR**, Miles co-authored the team’s definitive papers, which have garnered over 150 combined citations. These works detail the sophisticated algorithms, hardware, and software architecture that enabled robots to navigate GPS-denied, visually degraded tunnels and urban underground spaces. His major contribution lies in integrating robust state estimation, path planning, and collaborative mapping to achieve reliable, long-duration autonomy without human intervention. This achievement was not merely academic; the NeBula system was the winning solution for Phase II of the DARPA Subterranean Challenge, a testament to its real-world resilience. Miles’s research directly advances the frontier of robotic exploration for search-and-rescue, mining, and planetary exploration, proving that machines can operate effectively in the most challenging environments on Earth.
