IRI Unit, AI and Robotics Lab

Intelligent Robot Interaction Unit (IRI) is a part of AI and Robotics Lab. We are interested in studying and understanding Human behaviors, whether it concerns motor learning and memory, or brain’s neural dynamics. Understanding these mechanisms can assist us in developing various technologies that can enhance the quality of our life (QOL).
