Mechanisms And Robotic Systems Lab

Welcome to the Mechanisms And Robotic Systems (MARS) lab at Purdue University!

The MARS lab investigates cutting-edge robotic research at the intersection of mechanical design, sensory perception, and dynamic control. More specifically, we are interested in human-safe collaborative robots (cobots), soft robots, and robotic manipulation. Our goal is to develop inherently safe and highly performing robots that can work in dynamic environments with humans, side by side, to perform challenging manipulation tasks.
