Lab members, Yu, Yixiao, Chenzhang, and Mahshid, reunited at the IEEE CASE 2025 conference to present their latest work on the PURE project in San Francisco, CA (August 17th – August 25th). Their presentations showcased innovative advancements in human–robot interaction and control for riding ballbot systems. Topics included “Enabling Shared-Control for a Riding Ballbot System” (Chen, Yu), “Enhancing Stability Via Adaptive Torque Control for a Four-Wheeled Omniwheel Ballbot” (Liu, Yixiao), and “Exploiting Physical Human-Robot Interaction to Provide a Unique Rolling Experience with a Riding Ballbot” (Xiao, Chenzhang). Together, these contributions highlight the lab’s commitment to advancing robotics research and creating unique interactive experiences. Great work, teams!
