At HuB-Robotics, we are a group of mechanical engineers/roboticists with the ambition of building innovative robots to make people's life better. Students receive comprehensive training in the various disciplines and areas related to assistive and rehabilitation robotics. Each student also identifies an area of focus that best fits his/her interest and strengths, which could be design innovation, advanced control, or intent recognition.
If you are enthusiastic about robots and share our ambition, HuB-Robotics is for you. We offer opportunities for students on both graduate and undergraduate levels to do robotic research and develop useful skills to support their future careers in this fascinating area. Successful student researchers at HuB-Robotics tend to have these traits:
Graduate Student Positions
To be considered for a graduate student position in the HuB-Robotics, a candidate is expected to have a GPA of 3.5/4.0 or higher, and a strong background in a robotics/mechatronics-related discipline (e.g., mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, etc.). Research experience in machine design, control engineering, electronics, or computer programming is highly recommended, and candidates with Master's degrees or related work experience will receive favorable consideration in the application review.
For the initial contact, you are welcome to contact Dr. Shen via email. In your email, be sure to include a list of highlights of your qualification, and explain why your interest and background make you well suited for our lab. Due to the large number of email inquiries, I may not be able to respond to every inquiry, but I am more likely to respond to the prospective students who have taken time to understand our research and explain why he/she can contribute to the research.
Undergraduate Research Opportunities
Undergraduate students can participate in the research and education activities in the HUB-Robotics Lab in three ways:
