Duke Robotics Seminar: Autonomous and human-collaborative robotic manipulation”

ABSTRACT: In this talk, I will describe our work on robotic manipulation,
including autonomous in-hand robotic manipulation (particularly through
the US NSF HAND Engineering Research Center, and safe human collaborative
manipulation among one or more humans and a team of
mobile manipulators.
DR. KEVIN LYNCH is a professor of mechanical engineering and director of
the Center for Robotics and Biosystems at Northwestern University. His
research is on robotic manipulation, locomotion, human-robot systems, and
robot swarms. He is the research director of the NSF Human Augmentation via
Dexterity (HAND) Engineering Research Center, former Editor-in-Chief of
the IEEE Transactions on Robotics and the IEEE Conference on Robotics and
Automation Conference Editorial Board, a coauthor of three textbooks on
robotics and mechatronics, and the instructor of six Coursera online courses
and the associated YouTube videos forming the Modern Robotics
specialization. He received the B.S.E. degree in electrical engineering from
Princeton University and the Ph.D. degree in robotics from Carnegie Mellon
University.
