Welcome to the PHERL Lab!

Prabhakar Human-Engaged Robotics and algorithmic Learning (PHERL) Lab

News: PhD Positions Available in the group! For more information, go here. Join us!

We are a Human-Robot Collaborative Control and Robot Learning research group in the University of Sydney School of AMME and at the Australian Centre for Robotics.

Our goal is to develop principled, structured methods to enable seamless, adaptive human-robot interaction and collaboration. We explore human-robot interaction and collaboration through the lens of robot learning and optimal control. We develop useful algorithmic interfaces for humans to intuitively interact with and control complex, dynamic robotic systems.

I am currently building up my lab in the University of Sydney, right in the heart of Sydney. We will exchange ideas with world class roboticists here at USyd and their research groups. I am also a proud member of the Australian Center for Robotics.

I am looking for passionate new PhD, Masters, and Undergraduate students to join the team! (more info) !
