In addition to our core research team, the RoboHub's extended research team consists of several professors who are working in parallel and complementary fields of robotics and are regular users of the RoboHub itself and its robots and other equipment.
This group of professors, along with the researchers in each of their respective labs, are valuable contributors to and participants in the RoboHub's overall research themes. Along with collaborating with many of the members of the core research team, they also regularly conduct their own fundamental research in the RoboHub.
For details on any of the extended research team's specific research interests and backgrounds, check out their profiles below.
