XRAI Lab

A 6-DOF collaborative robot arm with a 12.5 kg payload, 1300 mm reach, and a force/torque sensor built into the tool flange. It anchors our robot cell for teaching and research in collaborative automation.

A lightweight 6-DOF collaborative robot arm with a 5 kg payload, 700 mm reach, and ±0.1 mm repeatability, fully open to programming from Python and ROS 2. It is our platform for research in human-centered robotics, perception-driven manipulation, and immersive human-robot interaction.

A 4-axis desktop robot arm for teaching, with a 500 g payload, 320 mm reach, and ±0.2 mm repeatability. The lab has ten units, enough for a full class lab. Students swap its tools to pick and place with suction or a gripper, write and draw, and 3D print, and program it in blocks or Python.

A rugged, all-terrain unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) for autonomous mobile robotics research: IP54-rated, up to 2 m/s, and able to climb 30° grades, running ROS 2 Jazzy. With a robot arm on its top plate, the platform supports mobile manipulation tasks that combine navigation and object interaction in complex environments.

A ROS 2 mobile robot for education and research, built on the iRobot Create 3 base with a Raspberry Pi 4B on board. It maps its surroundings, navigates autonomously, and runs AI models on its camera, with a 9 kg payload and 2.5–4 hours of operation per charge.

An advanced balance assessment and rehabilitation platform that integrates a 360-degree dynamic force plate with immersive virtual reality. The system enables precise evaluation of human balance and postural control through Computerized Dynamic Posturography (CDP), including standardized tests such as the Sensory Organization Test (SOT), Limits of Stability (LoS), and the Adaptation Test (ADT).

A tethered PC VR headset built for ultra-high-fidelity immersive experiences, with a 115° field of view and human-eye resolution at the center of view. Its integrated 200 Hz eye tracking enables highly realistic rendering and detailed analysis of where users look.

A tethered PC VR headset tracked by SteamVR base stations, with 1440 × 1600 pixels per eye, a 90 Hz refresh rate, and a 110° field of view. Paired with VIVE Trackers, it brings real objects and body movement into VR for interaction and motion-tracking studies.

The Meta Quest 3 and Quest 3S are standalone mixed reality headsets that support both fully immersive VR and passthrough-based AR experiences. With inside-out tracking and wireless operation, they provide a flexible and accessible platform for developing and deploying interactive XR applications.

A structured-light RGB-D camera for indoor scenes, with stable depth from 0.6 to 8 m, precision within 0.3% at 1 m, and 1080p color. The lab has three units. It suits fixed, indoor setups such as watching a workspace or a robot cell from a stand.

An IP65-rated stereo depth camera with a 95 mm baseline, working indoors or outdoors with an optimal depth range of 0.25 to 6 m and a built-in IMU. Its wide 90° depth field of view and rugged housing suit cameras mounted on mobile robots and arms.
