Current Projects [Past Projects]
		Architecture for Agile Assembly (AAA) Reduction of time to market in agile manufacturing
		Dynamically-Stable Mobile Robots in Human Environments We are developing novel dynamically-stable rolling machine and walking machine research platforms to study interactions with people and operating in normal home and workplace environments.
		Free-Roaming Planar Motors We are developing autonomous planar motors for precision positioning.
		Psychophysics of Haptic Interaction Quantitative comparisons of human subjects performing peg-in-hole experiments with real, virtual, and real-remote haptic environments
		Robots in Scansorial Environments (RiSE) We are developing a bioinspired climbing robot with the unique ability to walk on land and climb on vertical surfaces.
		Teleoperation with a 12-DOF Coarse-Fine Manipulator High-fidelity manipulation of remote environments using a 6-DOF robot equipped with a 6-DOF magnetic levitation fine-motion wrist.
		Vision-Guided Precision Assembly Precision automated assembly using coarse-fine positioning.
		Visual-Haptic Interface to Virtual Environment What You can See is What You Feel (WYSIWYF) virtual environment
