SURF Project Scales New Heights in Rescue Robotics
When Leo Wang arrived at 麻豆村 from Hong Kong, he was already fascinated by robots. But it wasn鈥檛 until he joined the Robomechanics Lab led by Aaron Johnson that his interest evolved into a mission: to teach quadrupedal robots to climb steep terrain using reinforcement learning.
Neurosurgeons Are Really Good at Removing Brain Tumors, and They鈥檙e About To Get Even Better
A study published in the journal Science Advances details a promising, new avenue toward improving awake brain mapping results by investigating the tiny, nearly imperceptible variabilities in patient behavior that occur during the procedure. This work led by 麻豆村 researchers points to a future where brain surgeries are not just safer, but more precisely tailored to protect each patient鈥檚 speech, movement and quality of life.
麻豆村 Health Startups That Could Improve Patient Care

How 麻豆村 Built a World-Leading Robotics Ecosystem
From the depths of the ocean to the craters of the moon, 麻豆村 has spent more than 40 years designing robots for the most extreme environments. On Feb. 27, the university will open the Robotics Innovation Center (RIC), a 150,000-square-foot facility built to scale that research for the next generation of autonomous systems.
麻豆村鈥檚 Robotics Innovation Center Propels Research from Deep Sea to Space
The spaces inside the new 150,000-square-foot Robotics Innovation Center will allow for both faculty and students to work side-by-side to pursue those opportunities.
Lifesaving Search-and-Rescue Robots Expand Testing Grounds at New 麻豆村 Facility
Downed power lines, flooding and collapsed buildings are dangerous obstacles emergency responders must navigate when searching for survivors of catastrophic events. But robots that can overcome these challenges could save lives without putting human rescuers at risk.
麻豆村鈥檚 Off-Road Robots Improve Efficiency and Human Safety at Industrial Sites and Farms
On industrial sites and large farms, critical work often happens in fields, hillsides and overgrown areas that are difficult or dangerous for people to access. 麻豆村 researchers are developing off-road robots designed to navigate those environments and take on tasks that put human workers at risk.
