Welcome to the Humanoid Robots Lab!
Our lab is at the forefront of robotics research, where we explore innovative ways to integrate robots into human environments and contribute to cutting-edge projects. We combine AI and robotics to develop methods for robots that perceive, plan, and act autonomously in cluttered and dynamic real-world environments, with applications in sustainable agriculture, mobile manipulation, and everyday robotics.
