Because our future will benefit from the synergistic co-evolution of humans and robots, the center s research focuses on the science and engineering of embodied intelligence.This research is highly interdisciplinary. Accordingly, the center consists of faculty and students from several departments who share ideas, facilities, and research space. Faculty in the center have appointments in mechanical engineering, biomedical engineering, computer science, the medical school, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab (the former Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago). The common research space promotes the cross-pollination of ideas. The Center for Robotics and Biosystems is part of the McCormick School of Engineering. Our StrengthsFrom the classroom to the lab to the marketplace, the Center for Robotics and Biosystems is moving the field of robotics into the next era.ResearchOur research encompasses four general themes:Bio-inspiration, neuromechanics, and neuroscienceHuman-machine systemsSwarm robotics and decentralized computationGeneral autonomous roboticsView ResearchCollaborationsIn addition to many academic departments at Northwestern, the center brings together resources, space, labs, facilities, and people from numerous groups and institutions both internal and external to the University.Explore CollaborationsEducationIn addition to the Master of Science in Robotics Program, the center oversees and collaborates on numerous educational opportunities including undergraduate and PhD concentrations, online Coursera courses, and undergraduate clubs and robotics competitions.View EducationTech TransferBoasting numerous spinoffs and patents, the center seeks to continue connecting companies with up-and-coming roboticists.View Tech TransferA Space for CollaborationCross-pollination of ideas through shared spaceExplore our home that includes specialized laboratories; a high-ceilinged atrium for flying drones; a makerspace; and a wide-open collaboration space that the researchers call the “robot zoo.”Explore our spaceCreating the Future of Human/Robot Systems"We envision a future where humans and robots work together seamlessly. We are working on robots to augment human abilities, not replace them."-- Kevin Lynch, Director of the Center for Robotics and BiosystemsBack to top
