Human Augmentation and Novel Device
HAND Lab
Interdisciplinary research at the intersection of wearable robotics, haptics, and soft robotic systems — enabling more intuitive, immersive, and dexterous human–robot interaction.
Research Areas
Wearable Tactile Device
Wearable devices that render contact, texture, pressure, and guidance through compact tactile interfaces.
Dexterous teleoperation
Robotic control systems that translate human intent into precise remote manipulation and richer feedback.
Robotic hands
Compliant robot hands that adapt to objects, and uncertain real-world interaction during manipulation tasks.
