The ARCADE Lab develops collaborative intelligent systems that support clinical workflows to increase access to—and expand the possibilities of—highest-quality health care. In designing these systems, they pioneer human-centered solutions that are enabled by synergistic advancements across imaging, computer vision, machine learning, and interaction design and that are embodied in emerging technology such as mixed reality and robotics.

The CIIS Lab exists to develop surgical systems that integrate novel computer and human/machine interface technologies that will revolutionize surgical procedures, extending surgeons’ abilities to achieve better outcomes at lower costs.

CIRL researchers are interested in understanding problems that involve dynamic, spatial interaction at the intersection of vision, robotics, and human-computer interaction.

The Intuitive Computing Laboratory focuses on designing and building intuitive interaction capabilities for computing and robotics technologies to be integrated into human environments to enhance supported task performance and user experience.

The LCSR is a locus for robotics research, covering domains from computer-integrated medicine to human-computer interaction to robotic deep sea exploration.

The Sci-Phy Lab studies the science of physical agents—intelligent systems that perceive, reason, and act in the physical world—to uncover the general principles that enable robots to move, manipulate, and interact seamlessly with objects, people, and other physical agents.

Working at the intersection of embodied AI, machine learning, and computational social cognition, SCAI’s goal is to advance human-centered AI by engineering machine social intelligence to build socially intelligent systems that can understand, reason about, and interact with humans in real-world settings.
