Melbourne Human Robotics

The University of Melbourne Human Robotics Laboratory studies robotics which interact with humans. Our research focuses on applications in which the human is physically involved in the activity, such that not only the workload is shared between the human and the robot, but the gain and performance realised would be more than what the human or the robot could achieve alone.

The laboratory promotes a multi-disciplinary approach to research. Research projects are developed in close collaboration within the School of Engineering, within the University (such as the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences), as well as with national and international colleagues.
