Agile Locomotion & Manipulation
Georgia Tech VIP Team
About
The Laboratory for Intelligent Decision and Autonomous Robots (LIDAR) at Georgia Tech focus on planning, control, and decision-making algorithms of highly dynamic, under-actuated, and human-cooperative robots in complex environments. The VIP Team will explore the challenging research topics in control algorithm design, perception of dynamic legged locomotion and manipulation, and mechanical design. The goals of this team are (i) design whole-body control algorithms humanoid robot locomotion and manipulation; and (ii) sensing, control, and planning algorithms for locomotion over real-world rough terrain. Our robotics research is highly interdisciplinary and demands engineering skills and research experiences across multiple schools and majors. Currently, we are looking for motivated undergraduate students who are interested in robotics learning, control and mechanical design. Please visit our lab website for on-going research projects. Here is a list of our past publications. Visit our website for the full list.
