The Laboratory for Computational Sensing and Robotics (LCSR) is one of the most technologically advanced robotics research centers worldwide, and is an international leader in the areas of medical robotics, autonomous systems, and bio-inspiration. Within Johns Hopkins, a premiere research university, the LCSR is a hub for innovative and interdisciplinary robotics engineering, research, and development. The LCSR brings a core group of scholars and students from the Whiting School of Engineering together with researchers from the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, the Bloomberg School of Public Health, the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences, the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory and the Kennedy Krieger Institute to focus on the common purpose of creating knowledge and fostering innovation.
LCSR’s mission is to create new knowledge in robotics, to transfer that knowledge to the next generation of roboticists, and to enable translation of this knowledge to enhance human health, probe the furthest reaches of our natural world, and shape the future of society.
LCSR’s vision is to pioneer advanced robots and other embodied systems that profoundly improve health, wellbeing, and economic prosperity for all.
