Professor Mojtaba Ahmadi and his students in the Advanced Biomechatronics and Locomotion (ABL) Laboratory are making substantial progress in developing systems for use in applications like rehabilitation, assistive devices, robotic machining, autonomous vehicles, and AI-enabled human-robot interaction. Our research pushes the state-of-the-art in human behaviour detection, shared autonomy in human-machine interaction, and the use of machine and reinforcement learning in assistive technologies.
Facilities
Advanced Biomechatronics and Locomotion (ABL) Laboratory
Located in Canal 7104, the ABL Lab is where we design and develop new mechatronic and robotic devices.
Rehabilitation Robotics Laboratory (RRL)
As a part of the new Abilities Living Laboratory in the ARISE building, the RRL contains rehabilitation and assistive devices and is primarily oriented towards human-robot interaction studies with target populations.
