Advanced Robot Manipulators Lab

Assistant Professor Long Wang

Welcome to Advanced Robot Manipulators Lab

We are a robotics research group interested in building intelligent and advanced robot manipulators to assist complex tasks in our daily lives.

I am a roboticist, and I like solving and discussing robotics theoretical problems as well as applications.

Research Focus

Our research are motivated by impactful applications:

• Manipulators (flexible surgical instruments) in minimally invasive surgery

• Manipulators (bio-inspired continuum arms) in field applications such as search and rescue

• Manipulators (hands and end-effectors) in remotely-assisted tasks such as space and marine robotics

Our research contributes to interesting theoretical interests:

• Unconventional compliant manipulators such as snake-like and elephant trunk: mechanism designs, kinematic and dynamics modeling, control and estimation.

• Collaborative robot manipulators: force and motion control.

• Human-in-the-loop manipulation and teleoperation: supervised autonomy, and leader-follower model-mediated telamanipulation.
