Robot Interaction and Manipulation Lab School of Information Science and Technology, ShanghaiTech University

Welcome to the Robot Interaction and Manipulation Lab! We strive to advance the field of Embodied AI by developing cutting-edge tactile sensing technologies and pioneering new human-robot interaction paradigms. Our goal is to empower robots to perform complex manipulation tasks in unstructured real-world environments.

欢迎来到机器人交互与操作实验室!我们致力于推动具身智能的发展,通过研发先进的触觉传感技术和新型人机交互范式,使机器人能够在非结构化环境中高效完成复杂操作任务。


Our research interests include but are not limited to:

🖐️ Tactile Sensing and Multimodal Perception.
We design novel tactile sensors and multimodal sensing systems (e.g., vision-tactile fusion) to equip robotic hands with human-like touch capabilities. Research spans sensor hardware development, signal processing algorithms, and applications in deformable object manipulation.

🧠 Embodied Intelligence and Skill Learning.
We explore reinforcement learning, imitation learning, and tactile-guided policy optimization to enable robots to adaptively grasp, manipulate, and collaborate with humans in unstructured environments.

🤖 Robotic Systems and Advanced End-effector Design.
From soft robotics to dexterous manipulators, we build integrated robotic systems with an emphasis on real-world applicability. Projects include dynamic control architectures, sensorimotor coordination, and hardware-software co-design for robust robotic operations.

🌐 Human-robot Interaction.
We investigate teleoperation interfaces, shared autonomy frameworks, and intuitive communication protocols to bridge human intent with robotic execution. Applications range from industrial cobots to assistive robotics for healthcare scenarios.
