| Simulation and parameter estimation for soft robotics | |
| We aim to build fast simulation models of soft deformable materials in order to facilitate soft robot design, or robotic manipulation of elastic objects. |

| Robotic clay modeling | |
| Robots can perform many tasks today, but can they model clay? In contrast to previous robotic manipulation technique, which mostly deal with hard materials, in this project we will explore robotic manipulation of materials that \emph{flow}: clay, plaster, stucco, etc. Our ultimate goal is to control a robot that can perform sculpting tasks or pottery like the ones in the picture above. |

| Castle Maker: Simultaneous and collaborative robotic assembly | |
| Assembly is one of the fundamental tasks that robots were designed to do. The standard approach that has been used since the dawn of robotics is to break the assembly procedure into smaller tasks that can be run sequentially. This approach benefits from easy programming and computation. However, the |

| Deep learning Hololens project in collaboration with Microsoft | |
| Microsoft has proposed two projects related to object pose estimation and interaction with robots. More details in the attached document. |

| Augmented Virtuality | |
| While immersed in a virtual reality, we are usually oblivious to the real world. Augmented virtuality is a concept where the virtual world is enriched with real physical objects, or virtual representations of them. The goal of this project is to design an augmented virtuality system using a combinat |

| Real hands in VR | |
| Virtual reality is an immersive technology that uses a Head Mounted Display (HMD), to place a player in a virtual world. While the visual feedback part of VR has received a lot of attention in recent years, and is quite convincing, other parts are still lacking. In particular, not being able to see |
