Northwestern University | NSF HAND ERC

The NSF Human AugmentatioN via Dexterity Engineering Research Center (HAND ERC) aims to revolutionize the ability of robots to augment human labor by developing easy-to-integrate and versatile dexterous robot hands that make robot manipulators useful "out of the box." To realize this vision, HAND ERC research centers around three thrusts: robot hand design, intelligent dexterity, and human interface. The HAND ERC welcomes companies, research labs, and civic, educational, and advocacy organizations to join us in our mission to democratize access to the benefits of robotics through human augmentation via dexterity. It is headquartered at Northwestern University. Core partners include Texas A&M University, Florida A&M University, and Carnegie Mellon University, with additional faculty support from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Syracuse University, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
