Current Projects [Past Projects]
		Bow Leg Hopper A novel, single-leg, dynamically stabilized planar robot that efficiently traverses rugged terrains under computer control.
		BowGo We have developed BOWGO (patent pending) - a new kind of pogo stick that bounces higher, farther and more efficiently than conventional devices.
		ChargeCar To develop electric vehicles (EVs) that are as efficient and cost-effective as possible, we have taken a systems-level approach to design, prototyping, and analysis to produce formally-modeled active vehicle energy management.
		Dynamic Climbing The goal of this project is to show how robots can gain access to difficult-to-reach places by taking full advantage of their dynamics and the potential reaction forces afforded by the environment. We build robots that use dynamic motions to climb vertically using frictional contact forces.
		Explosive Ordnance Disposal Robot - Very Low Cost (EODR-VLC) We are deveopling a suite of highly capable mobile robots for Explosive Ordnance Disposal and First Responders which are very low in total ownership costs.
		Gyrover A Single-Wheel, Gyroscopically stabilized Robot
		Highly-Articulated Robotic Probe (HARP) We developed and tested a prototype based on an innovative approach of a highly articulated robotic probe.
		LSTAT/Snake Robot We are working with the US Army's TATRC department (Telemedicine & Advanced Technology Research Center) to integrate a snake robot into the LSTAT system.
		Millibots Heterogeneous group of small autonomous robots with modular payloads and sensing platforms
		Modular Snake Robots
		Snake Robot Design Analyzing the factors that are of importance in designing a snake robot, and implementing new designs.
		Telepresence Robot Kit (TeRK) To design, create, and disseminate robotics curricula and technologies that motivate young women and men to actively explore science and technology.
		Toy Robots Initiative The Toy Robots Initiative aims to commercialize robotics technologies in the educational, toy and entertainment fields.
