Lab members featured in IEEE Spectrum online
Research conducted by Bruno V. Adorno (soon at UFMG), Philippe Fraisse (LIRMM), and Antônio Padilha L. Bó (LARA/ENE/UnB) on human-robot interaction was featured in the IEEE Spectrum blog on robotics. The researchers have proposed a method to coordinate interactive manipulation tasks between a humanoid robot and a person. In recent experiments, presented during the IROS 2011 conference, the robot was given the ability to control human arm motion... -
Best student award in Mechatronics Engineering
Jefferson Royer Chaurais, who conducted his final undergraduate studies here at LARA, received the Best student award in Mechatronics Engineering last month. The prize is awarded for the student with best academic records among those that graduate. His undergraduate project, supervised by Prof. Geovany Borges, was related to the application of impedance control for a robotic prosthesis. Congratulations and good luck for your future projects, Jeff... -
First LARA DAP
The first version of the LARA DAP (Dia de Apresentação de Projetos) took place last september 16th in the SG-11 Building. The event was open to anyone who is interested in automation and robotics. Its main goal was to give an overall view of all the projects currently underway at LARA and to attract young students for joining the LARA community. Below the presentations of the day: ... -
Work presented at IFAC 2011
Luis Figueredo presented his paper at the IFAC WC 2011 on the H∞ output tracking problem for networked control systems (NCSs) liable to model uncertainties and with time-varying delays. This work’s main result concerns the establishment of a novel method to synthesize feedback controllers with state-of-the-art stability techniques (e.g., convex optimization technique, piecewise analysis method) to make the output of a given NCS plant as...
