ABSTRACT
Research at the Center for Robotics and Biosystems at Northwestern University encompasses bio-inspiration, neuromechanics, human-machine systems, and swarm robotics, among other topics. In this talk I will give an overview of some of our recent work, with a particular focus on autonomous in-hand manipulation and human-robot collaborative manipulation with teams of mobile cobots.
