The Whiting School's robotics research group addresses design, analysis, simulation, and implementation of novel robotic devices.
Research issues include: efficient formulation and representation of robotic manipulator kinematics and dynamics, real-time simulation of complex mechanical systems, design of novel surgical instrumentation, computer control of electro-mechanical devices, development of novel sensing algorithms and devices, particularly vision and haptics, design of "smart" electro-mechanical systems, geometrical issues in manufacturing, and analysis of "minimalist" robots for dedicated industrial tasks.

“We’re building virtual cells to mathematically solve how real cells work...If we can determine the behavior of these cells before we do the lab experiments, we can predict reality before it happens.”
