Robotics, haptics and human machine interface

The focus of the stream includes research streams such as parallel kinematic and semi-autonomous mobile robotics, sensor systems, haptics, augmented and virtual reality, and human motion modelling. The application areas include tactile reconnaissance, remote monitoring, surveillance and operation, hazardous goods mobile tele-manipulation and task training. An example includes developing haptically enabled robots for law enforcement agencies with the outcomes directly addressing Australian defence and security needs.
