About Us

The Novel Mobile Robots lab (NMbL) develops robots that walk, hop, roll, and more with Prof. Justin Yim.  We seek new robot mobility strategies that increase locomotion performance, tackle challenging environments, or enable new robot abilities.  Our research areas include legged robot control, underactuated robots, jumping locomotion, balance control, and robot mechanism design.
