The Yale GRAB Lab

The GRAB Lab conducts research into robot manipulation and biorobotic systems. Research topics include robotic hands and dexterous grasping, prosthetics, assistive and rehabilitation devices, augmented human running, mobile manipulation, and aero-robotics.

We are a proud member of Robotics@Yale.


Prof. Dollar is the editor and co-founder of RoboticsCourseWare.org, an open repository for robotics pedagogical materials.

Openings

We are currently seeking exceptional students to join our team as PhD and Master's candidates. Applicants should have a background in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering or a closely related field. Quality of the applicant is more important than specific background, although hardware and experimental experience is preferable. Interested students should contact Prof. Dollar and provide a copy of their resume and a brief description of their interests for graduate school.
