?2016 Dr. Ye's  LAB. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Robotics Laboratory

Location: Engineering Research Building 2339    

Director: Dr. Cang Ye    Phone: (804) 828-0346

The goal of the Robotics Lab is to create autonomous systems that are able to model their environments using onboard sensors and generate intelligent behaviors to complete their missions in unstructured environments. The systems are evolutionary and collaborative with human in task completion. They improve their performance through exploring the environments and collaboration with human.

The current research efforts of the lab  focus on:

  1. Assistive robots/devices for the visually impaired
  2. Co-robots and human-robot interaction
  3. Wearable robotic devices
  4. Mobile robot simultaneously localization and mapping
  5. Marker-less human motion/gait capture and analysis
  6. 3-D range data processing and understanding for autonomous navigation
