NEW ARTICLE: “Small robot propulsion: low-power twisting enables hopping, swimming.” The mechanism works on challenging surfaces such as slippery cloth and grass-covered ground, producing frog-like motion. news.engin.umich.edu/2026/09/small-…
Congrats to @XinYe_Eva for her paper receiving the HFES HART Best Student Paper Runner-Up Award! #HFES2026 @HFES @umsi @UMRobotics #securityrobot
Congrats @XinYe_Eva on a new HFES paper — Trusting Security Robotic Authority #HFES2026 @HFES #Robots #Trust @umsi @HRI_Conference @ieeeras @BlackInRobotics @UMRobotics doi.org/10.1177/107118… #HRI

Do you want a robot that’s too confident? Or one that knows when to be uncertain about what’s ahead? New work from @TheLuisMarques and @umicharmlab.
Big congrats to @XinYe_Eva on our new paper, Mitigating Human–Security Robot Conflict Through Fairness. We found that distributive and informational fairness reduce conflict and boost security robot acceptance. @umsi @UMRobotics @BlackInRobotics tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
Congrats to MichealNayebare @kwameporterrob1 @roneglash @audreygbennett @guzdial New paper: "Understanding online conversations through fractal dimension." @umsi @UMichiganNews @BlackInRobotics @UMRobotics link.springer.com/article/10.100…
We just hit 1000 users on our Open Robotics @zulip server. Zulip is our open source alternative to Discord. We migrated late last year and the experience has been nothing short of fantastic; no bots, no spam, and threaded conversations! ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Healthcare robots for older adults won’t succeed on novelty alone — design matters. Read our new article on the topic! @CarolQiaoning @Jessie_YangXi @umsi @BlackInRobotics @UMRobotics @ieeeras @HRI_Conference doi.org/10.1007/s12369…
It's not yet September, but we have #IROS2026 on the mind. Get tips for visiting Pittsburgh and the latest robotics research from Michigan roboticists in our IROS summary. Read: robotics.umich.edu/news/2026/mich…
We locally calibrate uncertainty in approximate dynamics models! By conditioning on latent observation embeddings, states, and actions, we enable uncertainty-aware planning in u̲n̲s̲e̲e̲n̲ test environments! More on this @wafr_conf paper w/ @TheLuisMarques @UMRobotics below ⬇
Thank you Ilir for spreading the word! We'll be sharing more courses in the future.
The University of Michigan put their entire robotics degree on GitHub. Not one course. The whole curriculum. ROB 101 — Computational Linear Algebra for Robotics ROB 311 — How to Build Robots and Make Them Move ROB 501 — Mathematics for Robotics ROB 530 — Mobile Robotics Every
Stroke remains a leading cause of adult disability. It is responsible for high personal and public costs, with an annual total of $56.2 billion in the United States, including the cost of acute hospital care, rehabilitation, and days of missed work. professional.heart.org/en/science-new… Rehabilitation plays a key role in reducing disability and promoting quality of life after stroke. The goal of rehabilitation is for patients with stroke to be restored as closely as possible to normal form and independent functioning, minimizing required assistance and promoting a high quality of life. ✍🏼@alicen_whitaker @CVCatMCW @NeuroscienceMCW @MedicalCollege @dukemedschool @duke_Oto @duke_neurology @duke_brain @dukehealth @AbilityLab @uutah @NeuRRoLab @UMichPMR @umichmedicine @UMichResearch @UMKines @umflintdpt @UMRobotics @UMneurosciences @UMBME @umichme @IowaPT
What if robot hands could acquire dexterity once, then reuse it to learn downstream tasks much faster? Introducing ADEPT: a pre-training & post-training paradigm using RL entirely in sim, then zero-shot deploying visuo-tactile policies in the real world. 🔗adept-dexterity.github.io with Dex team @NVIDIAAI
@lukas_m_ziegler Thanks, as always, for sharing Lukas! If you're ever near Ann Arbor, come on by for a tour.
Robotics at University of Michigan is on 🔥! Plus, it's completely open-sourced and free. @UMRobotics put their entire robotics program on GitHub. Everything. Code. Textbooks. Examples. Simulations. That's what inside: → ROB 101: Computational Linear Algebra. Foundation course on the math that actually powers robots. → ROB 201: Calculus for the Modern Engineer. They wrote a textbook from scratch (GPL-licensed, on GitHub) because standard calculus doesn't address what engineers need. → ROB 204: Introduction to Human-Robot Systems. How humans and robots actually interact. → ROB 311: How to Build Robots and Make Them Move. The gap between theory and practice. → ROB 501: Mathematics for Robotics. Graduate-level rigor with code examples and interactive Jupyter notebooks. If you want to learn robotics math from one of the world's best robotics departments, it's free. Over 2,800 GitHub stars on the math courses alone. Thousands of people learning robotics, just because it's open for everyone :) This is how you build the next generation of roboticists. 🔗 Access it here: github.com/michiganroboti… ~~ ♻ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news → ziegler.substack.com
After 4 wonderful years, I'm signing off from NVIDIA. Working at NVIDIA's Seattle Robotics Lab was an absolute pleasure. Amazing collaborators, a great research environment, and friendships I'll keep for life. Before I start at @UMRobotics next year, I'm joining @proceptionAI to lead the effort to build the dexterous manipulation learning stack. Proception is a full-stack robotics startup that is already shipping robot hands and data-collection gloves. I believe solving dexterous manipulation requires co-designing the entire stack: hardware, software, and AI. Proception is one of the few places where you can actually do that. We're building the best dexterous manipulation system in the world — hands, data, and policies together. If that's the problem you want to work on, come build with us. Links below.
