Robotics and Intelligent Systems

Creating and researching systems for demanding run-time environments.

Robot Design, Simulation, Assembly, and Evaluation

We work with real robots and simulations.
A goal is to reduce gap between simulation and reality.
Create novel methods for design (e.g., evolution) and dynamic body shapes (morphology).

PIRC targets a psychology-inspired computing breakthrough through research combining insight from cognitive psychology with computational intelligence to build models that forecast future events and respond dynamically.
