Welcome to the webpage of the Interactive and Networed Robotics Laboratory (INRoL), a research laboratory in the Department of Mechanical, Aerospace & Biomedical Engineering at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville.  We are located in 303 Dougherty Hall (tel: 865-974-8994).

The main research focus of the INRoL is on the dynamics and control problems of multiple (or a single) robotic systems, which are interacting with environments/humans and connected with each other via a potentially unreliable communication medium. Some examples of such systems we are currently working on are:

     - human interactive/cooperative robots

     - teleoperation over the Internet, haptics

     - multirobot teleoperation and cooperative manipulation

     - multiagent distributed coordination and sensor network

More details can be found under the research section on the left.

Thanks for visiting us.

position opening (these positions have been filled):

- We have graduate research assistant positions available in the area of multirobot systems, teleoperation, and haptics.  Successful applicants should be self-motivating, hard-working, and possessing sound knowledge on controls.  Background in robotics is preferred but not required.  Experience in FEM, computer graphics, programming, and computer network will be valuable assets in doing research in the INRoL.  If you're interested, please contact Dongjun Lee.
