Welcome to the Fluent Robotics Lab! We are part of the Department of Robotics at the University of Michigan. Our mission is to enable robots to fluently work with and around people in dynamic, unstructured environments. We develop algorithms, systems, and human-machine interfaces to enable novel functionality, support users, and extract new knowledge.
