Welcome to the Robotics: Perception and Manipulation (RPM) Lab at the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities.
We focus on addressing the fundamental question of “What should/does/can a physical object in our environment mean to a robot?” thus leading to the following research questions.
We are interested in application domains (healthcare, climate change, agriculture, etc.) where our research solutions can make a huge impact.
We are looking for passionate new students to join the team (more info) !
