Our Efforts

Michigan Robotics is bringing together leaders in the fields of robotics and autonomy, producing robots with unprecedented abilities. These talented faculty will be housed in a building designed for the construction and testing of robots of all stripes.

Research areas include:

• Walking robots for search and rescue, in-home aid, and prosthetics/exoskeletons
• Rehabilitation robotics, helping people to recover from physical and neurological injuries
• Autonomous cars for safer roads
• Aerial vehicles for safer, more environmentally-responsible infrastructure inspection, surveillance, and package delivery
• Perception so that robots can see, hear, feel and understand
• Human-robot interactions, so that humans and robots easily work together
• Robot ethics, so that robots serve the greater good of humanity
