Welcome to the Center for Intelligent Mechatronics

The Center focuses on the design and control of electromechanical devices, with particular emphasis on the intersection of design and control. Much of our work is human-centered, including current research in anthropomorphic robotic upper and lower extremity prostheses; dynamic approaches to the control of robot biped locomotion; the use of biologically derived coordination influences for the control of legged locomotion in multi-legged robots; the development of high power-density actuation for human-scale robots; and the development of hybrid-FES systems to restore gait to spinal cord injured individuals.
