Welcome to the Human–Robot Empowerment Lab at the University of Utah.

We’re working to leverage human sensing and modeling to build more effective assistive and rehabilitative robots.

We’re housed in Mechanical Engineering

and are working to build collaborations across engineering and medicine, including with the Craig H. Neilsen Rehabilitation Hospital.

We ask questions about how to create better human–robot systems . . .

. . . and apply our new sensing and modeling tools to rehabilitative and assistive robots.

We’re recruiting!
