Biorobotics Laboratory (BioRob) @ EPFL 🤖🦿🐁🦎
We work on the computational aspects of locomotion control, sensorimotor coordination, and learning in animals and robots.
The Biorobotics Laboratory (BioRob in short) is part of the Institute of Bioengineering in the School of Engineering at EPFL, Switzerland 🇨🇭. We are interested in using robots and numerical simulation to study the neural mechanisms underlying movement control and learning in animals. We draw inspiration from animals to design new control methods in robotics and develop novel robots capable of agile locomotion in complex environments. We are also interested in rehabilitation robotics, e.g., exoskeletons, and in restoring locomotion.
Our research interests thus lie at the intersection of robotics, computational neuroscience, biomechanics, nonlinear dynamical systems, and machine learning.
We carry out research projects in the following areas:
- Neuromechanical simulations of locomotion and movement control
- Systems of coupled nonlinear oscillators for locomotion control
- Design and control of amphibious, legged, and reconfigurable robots
- Control of humanoid robots and exoskeletons.
