Welcome to my personal research wiki page. I use this wiki to link to sites of research/technical/academic/administrative interest, and to keep files relevant to my research collaborations. This wiki is permanently under construction, as it evolves with my research activiites. Hopefully you can find something of use here.

Current Research Projects & Interests My research is divided between traditional robotics research, and collaborations with neuroscientists to develop technology for paralyzed nervous systems. More information can be found at the Burdick Research Group Homepage Robotics Research \'\'Axel\'\'; a minimalist rover for extreme planetary terrains (Axel Internal Wiki Page); Robot Motion Planning in dynamic cluttered environments Ultra-Wide Band Radar tracking of humans Grasping and Mobile Manipulation Robust Caging Grasps (joint with JPL and General Dynamics) DARPA Mobile Manipulation (joint with JPL): On-Line Forum; Barrett Support Wiki; NeuroEngineering High density epidural spinal stimulation (joint work with Y.C. Tai and V.R. Edgerton)\n Neural Prosthetics: Autonomously positioned electrode arrays (joint work with R.A. Andersen and Y.C. Tai)
