About
The research work at the Human-Centered Robotics (HCR) Lab uses the principles of human motor and movement adaptation to develop novel human-centered robotic technologies to improve the quality of human life. The main focus has been on the integration of these understanding within the robot’s design and control to enable a desired physical human-robot interaction. The HCR Lab includes researchers with engineering and cognitive science backgrounds and places a significant emphasis on human studies to evaluate the performance of proposed paradigms.
