The Terrain Robotics Advanced Control and Experimentation (TRACE) Lab at the School of Mechanical Engineering at Purdue University focuses on modeling, state estimation, planning, and control of legged robot locomotion. Our research goal is to achieve versatile, stable, agile, and energy-efficient robot locomotion in unknown complex environments. We are also interested in applying our robotics knowledge and skills to revealing the fundamental principles of human and animal locomotion biomechanics as well as investigating robot-assisted human walking.
