Boyuan Chen, Dickinson Family Assistant Professor in the Thomas Lord Department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science at Duke University, has been named to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) 2025 Mechanical Engineering Magazine Watch List.
A new Master of Engineering in Robotics & Autonomy program joins Duke's undergraduate and graduate certificates for aspiring technology leaders
Researchers at Duke University’s General Robotics Lab present CREW, a platform facilitating seamless interaction between humans and AI to enable more intuitive and effective partnerships
New framework enables AI to learn through real-time human feedback, paving the way for more responsive AI systems
Researchers give robots a sense of touch by “listening” to vibrations, allowing them to identify materials, understand shapes and recognize objects just like human hands
Duke researchers are pursuing robots that learn like humans, help perform delicate surgeries, and look after crewed space flights.
Cheng’s work focuses on dexterous manipulation in robotics, emphasizing the need for robotic systems that can handle diverse complicated manual tasks
Student Award
Alexey Khotimsky (from Prof. Joanna Deaton's lab), Nils Roede (from Prof. Boyuan Chen's lab), Chris Oswald (from Prof. Boyuan Chen's lab), and Vincent Wang (from Prof. Leila Bridgeman's lab) have won the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP).
Faculty Award
Boyuan’s research advances embodied intelligence by designing systems that learn, reason, and adapt through perception and interaction, inspiring future robots with high-level cognitive skills to assist and enhance human creativity.
Prof. Siobhan Rigby Oca designs and implements robotics-related curricula for undergraduates and graduate students in a dual role of Assistant Professor of the Practice and Director of Master’s degree programs for Robotics and Autonomy.
