New Track of Work on Transparency Augmentation Exoskeletons
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.
Research is Fun
Our PhD student Minkyu and undergraduate visitor Miguel shared their latest research in this fun video!
Featured Research on UT’s Media Channels
We’re delighted to see our research broadly shared across UT media channels! Thank you and Hook’em!
Mobility around Humans with Mercury
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.
New Paper Accepted on IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control
Congratulations to phd student Gray for his new paper!
New Paper Accepted on IEEE Transactions on Mechatronics
Congratulations to postdoc Donghyun, graduate students Junhyeok, Orion, and our former phd student Nick for their great work!

Students Compete at RoboCup@Home in Montreal
Our students Minkyu, Nico and Arnau, will be competing at RoboCup@Home Domestic Standard Platform in Montreal this week along a larger team. Wishing the whole Austin Villa team best luck!
Snippets of Panel at SXSW on Mobility Beyond Wheelchairs
Here ares some snippets of a panel that PI, Dr. Sentis, moderated at SXSW 2018.
Compliments to Kwan Suk for his new Paper
This paper starts with the speculative fragment: Is it okay for robots to stop objects or other robots that could collide with people?
