Research has applications across many fields such as robot-assisted surgery, simulation and training, rehabilitation, exploration of hazardous or remote environments, enabling technologies, manufacturing, design, mobile computing, and education.
Research Experience
Involved in designing and studying haptic systems using both analytical and experimental approaches. Research areas include but are not limited to: devices and control systems for teleoperation, touch-based interaction technologies in virtual environments, and robots that can physically manipulate their environment or shape.
Background
Devoted to developing the principles and tools needed to realize advanced robotic and human-machine systems capable of haptic interaction. Particularly interested in: teleoperation, virtual environments, and robotic manipulation.
Miscellany
Part of the Design and Biomechanics Groups within the Mechanical Engineering Department at Stanford University, and also a part of the Center for Design Research.
