Grant: Canada Research Chairs
Université Laval
$200,000.00
Robotique et mécatronique
EF 2017-18
Résumé
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.
