Open House – Bionics Lab, Engineering IV Room 18-111

Visits to this lab will begin at the top of the hour: 12p, 1p, 2p, 3p, and 4p.

The Bionics Lab at UCLA is a research group aiming to develop science, technology, and human resources at the interface between robotics, biological systems, and medicine. The goal is to produce useful, innovative research and technology as well as trained researchers fluent in both science, engineering, biological systems, and robotics. The primary research fields of the Bionics Lab are medical robotics and biorobotics including surgical robotics, and wearable robotics as they apply to the following fields: control, human motor control, neural control, human and brain machine interfaces, motor control rehabilitation (stroke), brain plasticity, haptics, virtual reality, teleoperation, biomechanics (full body kinematics and dynamics as well as  soft/hard tissues biomechanics).

Research in these fields is conducted as part of a collaboration efforts with the UCLA medical school – CASIT (Center for Advanced Surgical and Interventional Technology) as well as other medical schools such as UCSF and University of Washington.

The lab is at Engineering IV Room 18-111 (ground floor) – The first room on the right as you enter the building from the front.
