Jonas Forsslund and Sara C. Schvartzman will be presenting their Demo titled “Bimanual Spatial Haptic Interface for Assembly Tasks” at SUI 2013, July 20-21, in Anaheim CA. This demo was done in collaboration with Sabine Girod, Rebeka Silva, Sonny Chan, Brian Jo and Kenneth Salisbury.
Sonny Chan just presented his paper titled “Deformable Haptic Rendering for Volumetric Medical Image Data” at IEEE World Haptics Conference 2013 (Daejeon, Korea). This work was done in collaboration with Dr. Nikolas H Blevins and Kenneth Salisbury
Some folks from Apple visited the lab on May 17th. It was exiting to talk about the applications of haptics with them. Who knows? Maybe we will see some haptic interfaces on the next iPhone?? Some of the lab’s former students that are working in Apple, such as Paul Nangeroni and John Morrell, also visited.
Our recent work “Replacing the Office Intern: An Autonomous Coffee Run with a Mobile Manipulator” was featured in a recent IEEE Spectrum blog article “Why Teaching a Robot to Fetch a Cup of Coffee Matters” by Evan Ackerman. The article discusses the work Tony Pratkanis, Adam Leeper, and Ken Salisbury’s which was presented at the …

Reuben Brewer and Ken Salisbury have just completed the first offering of CS235: Applied Robot Design for Non-Robot-Designers, a course that teaches students how to design and build the mechanics of robots. Each of the nine student teams designed, constructed, and programmed their robot from scratch in three weeks. Five teams created chess-playing robots, and …
The Salisbury Robotics Lab was recently featured as a panel in the new Science Walkway that has been installed in the Stanford School of Medicine. See the pictures below!
