The Center for Biologically Inspired Robotics Research is dedicated to the advancement of the field of robotics using insights gained through the study of biological mechanisms.
In the Social and Physical Human-Robot Interaction (SaPHaRI) Lab at the Case School of Engineering, we design, build, and program robots for unique and exciting social and physical interactions with humans.
The Medical Robotics and Computer Integrated Surgery Lab (MeRCIS) develops medical applications of robotics and other information technologies, specifically robotic systems for surgery and interventional medicine, human-machine interfaces, haptics, virtual reality surgical simulators and modeling and simulation of complex biological systems.
The Enhanced Robotic Interfaces and Experiences (ERIE) Lab researches new approaches to integrate multimodal sensing, multisensory feedback, and data-driven methods to improve human performance when teleoperating robotic systems.
The Wisdom and Knowledge from Animal Navigation, Direction, and Action (WAKANDA) lab studies bio and bioinspired navigation and orientation. We are particularly interested in animal magnetic reception
