Research Focus

  • Whole-body control
  • Adaptive locomotion and manipulation
  • Learning from interaction
  • Safe physical human–robot interaction
  • Learning-based balance and coordination

Research Direction

The AIAS Lab is developing a research direction in humanoid robotics centered on adaptive learning and control for high-dimensional, contact-rich systems. The focus is on whole-body coordination, locomotion, manipulation, balance, and safe interaction with people and the environment.

Learning and Control

The goal is to combine model-based control with adaptive learning, reinforcement learning, and safety-critical methods so humanoid robots can improve through interaction while maintaining stable and reliable physical behavior.
