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.

Check out a preprint of our latest collaborative work on stress response of people to walking robots using physiological sensors and survey analysis.

Graduate students ignite innovation, designing electric motors as a foundation for human-centered robotic careers.

We are proud of the Apptronik Team and our former student Nick Paine for this accomplishment. Kudos to CEO Jeff Cardenas for pushing the company to great new heights. Apptronik is a spin off from The Human Centered Robotics Lab.

A fantastic fireside chat between Luis Sentis and Ana Arriola-Kanada last Friday during SXSW 2024 in Austin, Texas. Thank you UT Good Systems and the German Innovation Org for facilitating this wonderful event.

With colleague Yuke Zhu and students Mingyo Seo, Steve Han, Kyutae Sim, Seung Hyeon Bang, and Carlos Gonzalez we recently published TRILL “Deep Imitation Learning for Humanoid Loco-manipulation through Human Teleoperation”, one of the first studies on imitation learning in full humanoid robots.

Below is the movie reel summarizing the IEEE RAS International Conference on Humanoid Robots 2023 held last week here at The University of Texas at Austin. It was truly fantastic. Thank you for your help to IEEE RAS, the organizing committee, the sponsors, the plenary speakers, Texas Robotics, the EER building personnel, the volunteers, The University of Texas at Austin, and all attendees!

The list of sponsors for Humanoids’23 in Austin on December 12-14 is growing. Click below to see the current sponsors, the floor plan, and the details of the beautiful and spacious EER building where all exhibitions by sponsors, competitors, paper speakers, poster presenters, and workshops will take place.
