Robotique et mécatronique

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This research chair aims at developing new families of robots that have the*ability to safely and intuitively interact with humans or that are inspired by*human mechanics. On one hand, the research program targets the design of*assistive robots that can act as co-workers to humans in the performance of*physical tasks, that can provide help to the handicapped or the elderly or that*can be used for training purposes. On the other hand, the research aims at*developing novel robotic components such as robotic hands or articulated systems*that can make robots capable of performing complex tasks that are currently not*accessible to robots. The research program of this chair is based on the unique*expertise developed at Laval University in the design, control and*implementation of advanced robotic systems. In essence, the global objective of*the chair is to develop robots that will make a difference in people's lives.
