Robotics Research

Robotics research aims to design, build, and control robots capable of performing complex tasks, with a current emphasis on improving robot adaptability to unstructured environments and enhancing human-robot interaction. Key research areas include developing robust control algorithms (e.g., for attitude control and mobile manipulation), creating standardized evaluation frameworks for benchmarking robot capabilities, and leveraging machine learning, particularly large language models, to improve robot perception, planning, and skill acquisition. These advancements hold significant potential for improving efficiency and safety in various sectors, including healthcare, manufacturing, and disaster response.
