Here we do research in the general area of robotics with specific attention to designing for, understanding, and exploiting the dynamics of mobile systems in the context of challenging environments. We specifically focus on biologically-inspired locomotion, novel vehicle designs, and robot-terrain interaction.
The Robotics Lab is currently looking for exemplary PhD and undergraduate students with an interest in design, control, planning, and mechatronics. Students with design expertise are especially encouraged to apply. Please contact Prof. Matthew Spenko via email. At this time, there are no available positions for post doctoral researchers.
