PINHAS BEN-TZVI | Director
The Robotics and Mechatronics Lab ’ s mission is to conduct advanced fundamental and applied research in robotics , intelligent autonomous systems , mechatronics , human-robot interactions , systems dynamics and control , mechanism design and system integration , and novel sensing and actuation . Examples of research application areas and projects include autonomous mobile robots with symbiosis of locomotion and manipulation and modular & reconfigurable mobile robotics for search & rescue and hazardous environment sensing and monitoring ; design of intelligent biomimetic robotic tails for robust dynamic stabilization and agile maneuvering of legged robots on rough terrain ; autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle ( UAV ) launch and recovery from naval vessels ; haptics devices and upperextremity exoskeletons for tele-operation and rehabilitation therapy ; advanced medical devices and robotic systems for precision surgery ; and novel smart sensors and actuators for biomedical applications .
