Expertise: Biorobotics, divided into two primary thrusts: haptic interfaces, and biologically inspired robots. Haptic interfaces apply robotic techniques to develop better ways to interface humans and computers. Biological movement systems have many properties which exceed those of mechanical robots. By building robotic replicas of biological systems there is a hope to engineer better robots as well as learn more about biology. Applications of this technology include remote vehicles and prosthetic limbs.
