Robotique et mécatronique

这个研究讲座旨在开发新的机器人家族，这些机器人具有*安全和直观地与人类互动的能力，或者受到*人类力学的启发。一方面，该研究项目的目标是设计辅助机器人，这些机器人可以在执行身体任务时充当人类的同事，可以为残疾人或老年人提供帮助，或者可以用于训练目的。另一方面，这项研究的目标是*开发新型机器人部件，如机械手或铰接式系统*，使机器人能够执行目前机器人无法完成的复杂任务。该教席的研究计划基于拉瓦尔大学在先进机器人系统的设计、控制和实施方面开发的独特*专业知识。从本质上讲，轮椅的全球目标是开发能够改变人们生活的机器人。

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.
