Robotics & Controls
Engineering Innovative Breakthroughs
Robotics & Controls research in the Department includes all aspects of robotics such as development of component technologies (e.g., sensors, actuators, structures, and communication), novel robotic platforms, controls, and intelligence and autonomy for robotic systems.
Current research areas include:
- Multi-scale Robotics: meso-, micro-, and nano-scale robotic manipulation and assembly; micro-sensors for robotic applications; single cell manipulation, biological tissue characterization; untethered wireless microrobots.
- Medical Robotics: in vivo surgical robotics; automation for life science applications, microrobots for targeted drug delivery.
- Unmanned Vehicles: micro aerial vehicles, remotely operated and autonomous mapping vehicles.
