Marquette University Humanoid Engineering & Intelligent Robotics Lab

The Marquette University Humanoid Engineering & Intelligent Robotics (HEIR) Lab is a robotics lab in Marquette University's College of Engineering.

History

The lab was started in Engineering Hall in 2012. It is directed by Professor Andrew Williams.[1] The lab receives funding to design and program robots to do things like function as exercise coaches and teach STEM concepts.[2]

Members of the lab have worked on numerous publications that have been presented at various conferences around the world.[3]

A robot called MU-L8 was designed and built by the lab. Many of the parts were 3D printed.[4]

In 2014, the lab participated in the RoboCup 2014 competition.[5]

In the News

MU-L8, a robot designed and built by the lab, was featured on the cover of Milwaukee Magazine's November 2013 issue.[6]

Members of the lab were interviewed by FOX 6 News Milwaukee on the building of a robot to compete at RoboCup.[7]

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel published an article on the lab's trip to the RoboCup competition in Brazil.[8]
