Check out this video reel of the projects of Prof. Sentis’ new graduate class Design of Human Centered Robots, taught this past Spring semester. Every robot and system shown in this video is built from scratch. We are very impressed by the students creativity and skills. The arm, reinforced with carbon fiber, includes custom-built cycloidal gears inspired by Haddington Dynamics. And the dexterous hand? Although it’s a replica of an open source design, the 3D printing and assembly by the students are absolutely mind-boggling!

We had a great time at ICRA 2024. Jeeeun Lee presented a very nice paper on Jerk Constrained Time Optimal Path Planning and Control:

We also planned activities for our IEEE Technical Committee on Whole-Body Control:

And finally, current and past HCRL students got together in Yokohama during the conference:

We have launched a new website with all results of our NSF Multidisciplinary project. Click below!

Want to understand how humans react to quadruped robots? We’ve published a dataset of human-subject data, including stress responses (physiological measures + interviews). Click on the image below to access the dataset.
