Dr. Fichera was awarded a new research grant by the National Science Foundation (NSF), entitled
Unified Design, Modeling, and Control of Extensible Continuum Robots for Operation in Human Workspaces.
This collaborative project will see our lab work with Drs. Cagdas Onal (PI) and Berk Calli
to develop a highly flexible robotic arm called CoBRA (Continuum Bioinspired Robotic Assistant) to help people with daily tasks and improve their independent living skills.
