The researchers of the Salisbury robotics lab undertake a variety of robotics projects in the development of their work. The projects in the Salisbury robotics lab fall under five main categories:
The development of robot graspers for object grasping and in-hand manipulation.
Wearable robotic arm for haptics and daily tasks.
The development of tools, both physical and virtual, that help surgeons plan surgeries and provide medical students with valuable practice.
