What we are building, and who we are building it with. Publishing since 2014; pick a line of work from the list.
In collaboration with PLOT
We study humanoid robots that see, understand spoken requests and act safely around people, with the goal of supporting care units and the staff who run them.
In collaboration with Kennesaw State University
Our sensing replaces people with silhouettes as images are captured, keeping motion and posture while personal details stay on the device.
In collaboration with PLOT
We are developing an on-site data compute unit, so the models that see, listen and plan run next to the data they use and sensitive information never has to leave the site.
In collaboration with Kennesaw State University
We are exploring how people can direct robots in plain language, with the operator always in control.
At Voicu Lab
We are developing hand-guided control of a robot arm.
In collaboration with Kennesaw State University
Since 2021 student teams have taken an ordinary powered wheelchair and kept teaching it new skills: driving itself down hallways, then outdoors, then carrying new sensors, with each class handing the platform to the next. Today we are exploring shared control, where the chair and its user decide together.
In collaboration with Kennesaw State University
Leg exoskeletons that attach to a wheelchair, so people can exercise their legs while seated.
In collaboration with Kennesaw State University
Wearable sensors that recognize stress, fatigue and sleep-related risk.
At Voicu Lab
A compact sensing unit with cameras, depth and microphones that processes data on the device.
In collaboration with Kennesaw State University
Low-cost robotic hands and wrist-worn robotic fingers for people with limited hand function.
In collaboration with Kennesaw State University
Soft robots bend instead of breaking and are safe to touch. We design, print and control soft actuators, Stewart platforms and bio-inspired robots, and we teach the subject with virtual labs that students can run from anywhere.
In collaboration with Kennesaw State University
Our bioprinter builds soft scaffolds layer by layer, a step toward engineered tissue.
At Voicu Lab
Carry a depth camera around a room and it becomes a 3D copy you can look around later.
