Humanoid Robotics Lab

Welcome to the Humanoid Robotics Laboratory at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Prof. Mike Stilman founded the lab in 2008 and is the present director.

Our mission is to work towards a future where robots have human and even super-human capabilities.

Currently, the lab has a number of interdisciplinary graduate students from Computer Science, Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. We all come together at the Center for Robotics and Intelligent Machines (RIM).

This page shares a broad range of information about our activities, including updates on our projects as well as tools for using various robots and robot components. Here are some starting pointers:
  • Golem Krang - An autonomous humanoid designed for heavy service tasks. It is capable of transforming from static to dynamic balance, reaching a human height of nearly 6 feet.
  • Golems Wiki - Our growing resource for information on our robots as well as general information on robotics literature and practices.
  • Projects - A page on active projects in our lab with movies, descriptions and links to PDFs of publications.
