About Us
This is the homepage for the Healthcare Robotics Lab at Georgia Tech, which is an
interdisciplinary lab with members from
Biomedical Engineering,
Interactive Computing,
Electrical and Computer Engineering, and
Mechanical Engineering.
Our research seeks to advance the capabilities of real robots so
that they can provide valued assistance to people in unstructured
environments. We work with semi-autonomous mobile robots that
physically manipulate the world (mobile
manipulators). Healthcare serves as an important motivating
application area for most of our research. Our projects involve
research into human-robot interaction, autonomous mobile
manipulation, machine perception, machine learning, and haptics.
Our lab is part of the Department of
Biomedical Engineering at
Georgia Tech and Emory University.
Charles C. Kemp (Charlie Kemp)
directs the lab, which he founded in
September of 2007. The Healthcare Robotics Lab is affiliated with the
Center for Robotics and
Intelligent Machines, the
Health Systems Institute,
and the Institute for People
and Technology.
We're also very involved with
the Robotics
Ph.D. program at Georgia Tech. Most of the graduate students
in the lab are pursuing Ph.D.'s in robotics through the Robotics
Ph.D. program. However, the students come from many different home
schools, to which they applied and were admitted.
