MAHI Lab

PI: Dr. Marcia K. O’Malley

Research Areas: Haptics, Rehabilitation Robotics, Mechatronics, Teleoperation, Human Performance Evaluation, and Life Science Automation

The Mechatronics and Haptics Interfaces (MAHI) Lab focuses on the design, manufacture, and evaluation of mechatronic or robotic systems to model, rehabilitate, enhance or augment the human sensorimotor control system. To this end, we employ analytical and experimental approaches from the field of dynamic systems and controls, with inspiration from human motor control and neuroscience. We are also engaged in the development of novel approaches for teaching dynamic systems and controls.
