Manipulation

Automated Field-Container Handling System - Develop a containerized plant handling system for nursery growers
Chimera - Multiprocessor Real-Time Operating System
Dynamic Manipulation - By not grasping, a simple robot with few degrees-of-freedom can control an object with more degrees-of-freedom by exploiting dynamic effects, such as centrifugal and Coriolis forces.
Factory Automation
Hand Exoskeleton - We are developing an exoskeletal hand for patients suffering from a loss of precise control in the upper limbs and hands.
High Bandwidth Visual Feedback for Robust Manipulation - Sensor-based robotic system that can robustly perform manipulation tasks in dynamically varying and imprecisely calibrated environments.
Modular Distributed Manipulator System - An array of cells, each of which can induce a vectored force to an object resting on the cell. The cells collectively transport and manipulate objects resting on the array.
Onika - Iconically programmed interface to Chimera
Perception for Rock Sampling - We are developing a set of perception modules for extracting the potential samples from visual data, building models of their shapes, and using the models to pick up and store the sample.
Reconfigurable Modular Manipulator System - Sensor-Based Manipulators
Robotic Neurosurgery Probe Guide - Assists surgeons in choosing an incision site.
Skyworker - Skyworker is an assembly, inspection, and maintenance robot that will softly and autonomously transport and manipulate payloads of kilograms to tons over kilometer distances.
Track Following in High Performance Magnetic Disk Drives
Wide Area Prospecting Using Supervised Autonomous Robots - We are developing teams of telesupervised autonomous prospecting robots for the planned NASA Lunar and Martian colonies.
