Research

Haptics, Human-Robot Interaction, Mobile Robotics, Assistive Robotics, Manufacturing Engineering, Embedded Sytems

Interests

My main research interest is how haptic feedback can be used to provide safety critical information to operators of mobile robots in difficult environments, though I also have active projects in Haptics for the Visually Impaired, Robotics for Neuro-Rehabilitation and Animal-Robot Interaction.
