Robotique et mécatronique

这个研究椅子旨在开发新的机器人家族，这些机器人能够安全、直观地与人类互动，或者受到人类力学的启发。一方面，该研究计划的目标是设计辅助机器人，这些机器人可以在完成体力任务时充当人类的同事，可以为残疾人或老年人提供帮助，或者可以用于培训目的。另一方面，该研究旨在开发新型机器人部件，如机械手或铰接系统，使机器人能够执行目前机器人无法完成的复杂任务。这个椅子的研究项目是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，主席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 theability to safely and intuitively interact with humans or that are inspired byhuman mechanics. On one hand, the research program targets the design ofassistive robots that can act as co-workers to humans in the performance ofphysical tasks, that can provide help to the handicapped or the elderly or thatcan be used for training purposes. On the other hand, the research aims atdeveloping novel robotic components such as robotic hands or articulated systemsthat can make robots capable of performing complex tasks that are currently notaccessible to robots. The research program of this chair is based on the uniqueexpertise developed at Laval University in the design, control andimplementation of advanced robotic systems. In essence, the global objective ofthe chair is to develop robots that will make a difference in people's lives.
