• 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.
