Manipulation

Desktop Robotics - Is it possible to build robots which take the desktop as their task domain?	Explosive Ordnance Disposal Robot - Very Low Cost - 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.
Lego Educational Robotics - Self-paced robotics education labs	Magnetic Levitation Haptic Consortium - Low-cost, high-fidelity haptic magnetic levitation haptic interface systems for use by a consortium of haptics researchers in the United States
Navigation Among Movable Obstacles - Autonomous motion planning and control for robots working in reconfigurable environments.	Needle Steering for Brain Surgery - We are developing high accuracy proportional steering of flexible needles for minimally invasive navigation in the brain.
Robotic Origami Folding - Origami, the human art of paper sculpture, is a fresh challenge for the field of robotic manipulation, and provides a concrete example for many difficult and general manipulation problems.	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.
