ARMLab Mission

The mission of the Assistive Robotics and Manipulation Lab is to develop intelligent, assistive, collaborative robots that improve human life.

Our Vision

We want to develop assistive, collaborative robots that extend the abilities of the human user by either performing a service task, working alongside the human collaborator or assisting through physical augmentation of the human user. Our goal is to develop assistive technology that is not only capable and responsive but also has the ability to anticipate the situational needs of the human user. We specialize in developing intelligent robotic systems that can perceive and model environments, humans and tasks and leverage these models to predict system processes and understand their assistive role.
