LCSR’s Muyinatu A. Lediju Bell, assistant professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering with a joint appointment in the Department of Biomedical Engineering, develops theories, models, and simulations and performs experiments, all with the unified goal of improving ultrasonic and photoacoustic image quality so that patients receive better quality care. Bell is the […]
Researchers in the Locomotion in Mechanical and Biological Systems (LIMBS) lab at Hopkins are working to understand how humans coordinate rhythmic physical behaviors, such as juggling and tapping out beats with their fingertips. The results of these studies could lead to more agile robots and improved prosthetics. Leading this effort is Noah Cowan, professor of […]
The award will provide support for Li’s research on helping scientists better understand how creatures such as lizards and insects traverse complex topographies in order to enable legged robots to successfully navigate challenging terrains.
Graduate students at Johns Hopkins University put their engineering skills to the test to build robots capable of playing games.
“Robots allow manufacturers to operate more cheaply. But robots themselves aren’t cheap, limiting the ability of small manufacturers to compete with larger companies or win back business from overseas. A Baltimore startup thinks it has a solution: robots as a service. “Industrial robots typically sell for $75,000 or more, a significant capital outlay. And that […]
The paper “Software Architecture of the da Vinci Research Kit,” authored by LCSR members Zihan Chen, Anton Deguet, Russell H. Taylor, and Peter Kazanzides, won the Best Paper Award from the IEEE International Conference on Robotics Computing, in Taichung, Taiwan. More information about the da Vinci Research Kit can be found here.
Baltimore Magazine reports on technological advances that are bringing robots into the home to conduct chores and other tasks. Associate Professor Noah Cowan comments.
