The Hybrid Dynamic Systems & Robot Locomotion Lab KAVEH AKBARI HAMED | Director
The Hybrid Dynamic Systems and Robot Locomotion Laboratory ’ s research goal is to establish a firm foundation to create innovative algorithms to systematically design resilient controllers for a wide range of dynamical systems with nonlinear and hybrid nature . These systems include , but are not limited to : autonomous robots for disaster response ; wearable robots like prostheses to improve the quality of life of people with disabilities ; and walking robots with human / animal morphology . Our research offers a unique opportunity to advance robot locomotion and robotassisted walking technologies through a series of experiments with humanoid and legged robots as well as powered prosthetic legs .
