Mercury achieves versatile dynamic walking including rough terrain. Congratulations to postdoc Donghyun Kim!

We’re delighted to share that our 2016 paper ControlIt!, is the 5th Most Read paper on IJHR and our 2005 and 2004 IJHR papers on Whole-Body Control are the 3rd and 4th Most Cited papers of IJHR!

Former PhD student Ye Zhao, now an assistant professor at Georgia Tech submitted a comprehensive paper on task and motion planning in collaboration with the Human Centered Robotics Laboratory. Click on the image below to access the paper in arXiv.

Home robots are closer than what we may think. The video below is collaborative research under the UT Austin Villa team for qualifying for RoboCup@Home 2019. More to come soon!

We are happy to share a preliminary video of our new track of work on transparency controller synthesis for augmentation exoskeletons performed by PhD students Binghan He and Gray Thomas. The hardware platform is designed by Apptronik.

Our PhD student Minkyu and undergraduate visitor Miguel shared their latest research in this fun video!

We’re delighted to see our research broadly shared across UT media channels! Thank you and Hook’em!

This video shows our human-size bipedal robot, Mercury, which has passive ankles, thus relying solely on hip and knee actuation for balance. This capability is not only very difficult to accomplish but enables the robot to rapidly respond to disturbances like those produced when walking around humans.

Congratulations to phd student Gray for his new paper!
