 Computational robotics laboratory (Prof. Stelian Coros)Open OpportunitiesWe are developing a special type multi-robot system which has the potential to be scaled to large scale robotic systems with nice properties such as high mobility, re-configurability. In this project, we aim to work on the control and task-based design optimization of these multi-robot systems. - Control Engineering, Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, Robotics and Mechatronics, Simulation and Modelling

| Human bodies are made up of bones (equivalent of links in a traditional robot). The relative movement of bones is often constrained along different complementary surfaces which serves as joints.Work on this project involves simulation, design optimization and control of knee type jointed mechanisms. - Mechanical Engineering, Robotics and Mechatronics, Simulation and Modelling

| Design, morphology and the actuation scheme for the legs greatly influence the control and capability of the quadruped robots for agile and dynamic motion. We aim to build a general purpose quadruped base platform with direct drive actuation where we test novel bio-inspired quadruped robot designs. - Control Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics and Mechatronics, Simulation and Modelling

| Robots can perform many tasks today, but can they model clay? In contrast to previous robotic manipulation technique, which mostly deal with hard materials, in this project we will explore
robotic manipulation of materials that \emph{flow}: clay, plaster, stucco, etc. Our ultimate goal is to control a robot that can perform sculpting tasks or pottery like the ones in the picture above. - Computer Graphics, Intelligent Robotics, Simulation and Modelling

| The main objective of this project is design and fabrication of a multi-robot mobile robotic system prototype. Current mobile robotic systems use a heavy industrial manipulator on an even heavier mobile base. We want to change this paradigm by creating a lightweight and stiff mobile robotic system. - Engineering and Technology, Information, Computing and Communication Sciences

| The goal of this project is to design and fabricate soft, flexible grippers for a two-armed rigid robot. Equipped with such end-effectors, we hope to improve the robot’s interactions with various objects. These grippers should also allow for basic force estimation from visual deformation data. - Intelligent Robotics, Robotics and Mechatronics, Simulation and Modelling

| While immersed in a virtual reality, we are usually oblivious to the real world. Augmented virtuality
is a concept where the virtual world is enriched with real physical objects, or virtual representations
of them. The goal of this project is to design an augmented virtuality system using a combinat - Computer Graphics

| We build custom-shaped soft robots from flexible polyurethane foam. To do so, we need to 3D print a mould in which the foam expands and cures. The expected output of this project is a computer program that outputs 3D printable geometry of the mould, given the target shape of a soft robot. - Geometry, Information, Computing and Communication Sciences, Robotics and Mechatronics
