Welcome to the Intelligent Robotic Arms (IRA) Lab in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Kentucky. Our lab focuses on studies in kinematically redundant robots, fault-tolerant robots, motion planning of robotic arms, and human-robot interaction. We develop intelligent and advanced motion planning algorithms to improve the fault-tolerant performance of redundant robots operating in remote and hazardous environments. We also generate safe, efficient, and human-friendly robot motion for collaborative robots in human-robot interaction.

Our paper, titled "A Learning Based Method for Computing Self-Motion Manifolds of Redundant Robots for Real-Time Fault-Tolerant Motion Planning," has been accepted for publication in the IEEE Transactions on Robotics. This TRO paper introduces a learnable representation of self-motion manifolds and develops a learning-based method to compute self-motion manifolds, enabling real-time fault-tolerant motion planning. The first author, Landon Clark, will present this TRO paper at IROS 2025. Congratulations, Landon!
