Designing robots that care

Physical Human–Robot Interaction (pHRI) studies how robots and people can safely and naturally share touch, movement, and effort. It matters because the next generation of assistive technologies—like robotic wheelchairs, walkers, or arms—must work with us, not just for us. In our group, we design and test the robots that make pHRI possible.
