Research
The center consists of faculty members spanning the following academic departments: Aerospace Engineering, Bioengineering, Biology, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Kinesiology, and Mechanical Engineering. Research projects in the center are supported by the major federal funding agencies including NSF, ARO, ARL, ONR, AFOSR, NIH, DARPA, NASA, and NIST.
Multirobot Systems
Bio-inspired robotics concepts; time-delayed robotics; robotic swarms; robotic cooperation under limited communication; distributed robotics; and crowd and multi-agent simulation.
Learn MoreMedical Robotics
MRI-compatible surgical robotics; haptics-enabled AFM; and exoskeletons for rehabilitation.
Learn MoreMiniature Robotics
Mesoscale robots; bio-inspired sensing, actuation, and locomotion; cell manipulation (optical, AFM based, and micro fluidics); and micro and nano manipulation (optical and magnetic).
Learn MoreAutonomous Systems
Micro air vehicles; uncrewed sea surface vehicles; uncrewed underwater vehicles; planetary surface rovers; and robot motion planning.
Learn MoreCognitive Robotics
Endowing a robot with intelligent behavior by providing it with a processing architecture that allows it to learn and reason about how to behave in response to complex goals in a complex world. Cognitive robots integrate perception, cognition, and action.
Learn MoreBio-Inspired Robotics
Robots inspired by biological forms. Bio-inspired design and manufacturing; artificial muscles; adaptive control of bio-inspired robots; biosensors; soft robots; swarming; co-robotics; multifunctional materials and structures; biomaterials; biolocomotion; energy harvesting; autonomy; humanoid robots; and modular robots.
Learn MoreHuman Robot Interaction
Human-robot collaboration; human behavior modeling; human-robot communication; learning and cognition; planning and re-planning; and management of trust and its effects on collaboration.
