ICRA 2018

Lydia Kavraki giving a keynote at the 2018 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation in Brisbane, Australia

Robonaut2

Planning motions for the legged version of Robonaut2 inside the International Space Station.

Conformational analysis

We have developed a method to explore flexibility of large macromolecules.

Task and motion planning

In integrated task and motion planning, a search for a sequence of discrete actions is interleaved with finding continuous motions.

Computational immunotherapy

We are interested in predicting the binding modes of peptides to both class I (left) and class II (right) MHC receptors.

Manifold-Constrained Motion Planning

Asymptotically optimal manifold-constrained motion planning available in OMPL.

Robonaut 2

Robonaut 2 walking inside the International Space Station powered bymanifold-constrained motion planning.

Human-robot interaction applications

Motion planning techniques that enhance human-robot interaction (HRI) capabilities.

Motion planning for underwater vehicles

Navigation through unexplored underwater environments using autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). Work in collaboration with University of Girona.

Physics simulation-based motion planning

Our group has developed a plugin for the 3D modeling program Blender that allows you to easily plan physically realistic motions.

Molecular docking

We have developed a new docking protocol for large ligands and were able to predict new binding modes.

Formal Methods and Robotics

Robust human-robot collaboration is made possible through scalable reactive synthesis.

Metabolic Engineering

We are developing algorithms for discovering biological pathways for the production of valuable compounds as well as interactive visualization tools to efficiently present the results.
