Human-Centered Robotics

Abstract

This talk presents our current research, education and outreach activities on humanoid robots at the Purdue Assistive Robotics Technology Lab (ARTLab; https://engineering.purdue.edu/artlab). A brief introduction to robotics and humanoid robotics will be explored, followed by discussions of our research projects, lab and outreach activities. Specifically, kinematics and dynamics computations, and motion planning and control for DRC ladder-climbing event will be discussed with experimental work.

Biography

C. S. George Lee (S’71-M’78-SM’86-F’93) is a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana. His current research focuses on human-centered humanoid robotics, autonomous mobile robots, and neuro-fuzzy systems. Dr. Lee has published extensively in these areas, including over 200 archival publications; co-author two graduate textbooks, Robotics: Control, Sensing, Vision, and Intelligence (McGraw-Hill, 1986) and Neural Fuzzy Systems: A Neuro-Fuzzy Synergism to Intelligent Systems (Prentice-Hall, 1996); and 20 book chapters. He is an IEEE Fellow and has received the IEEE Third Millennium Medal Award, the Distinguished Service Award and the George Saridis Leadership Award from the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society. Professor Lee has served as Secretary and Vice-President for Technical Affairs for the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society, Program Chair of 1996 ICRA, Program Chair of 1998 IROS, General Chair of 2003 IROS, General Co-Chair of 2006 ICRA, and Program Chair of Humanoids 2010. Dr. Lee received his Ph.D. degree from Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana.
