-These are the main robot that they have in the lab, and they are called the PR2 and Baxter robot. These robots are currently being used for picking and placing tasks as well as collaborative human robot interaction. This is a computer science laboratory, so they primarily focus on computer vision and algorithms for sequential tasks. It is also something new on the aspect of psychology into the field of robotics. This lab also conducts human robot interaction studies in which they create an experiment and then call volunteers to experience it and fill out a survey on it. This was the project they wanted me to do in the beginning, yet I'm not interested in psychology so I switched over. The PR2 robot is an impressive piece of hardware as it can do various tasks from path planning to even plugging in its own extension cord for charging. They are using the ROS package Move It for all of the manipulator controls.

For example, teaching the robot how to make tea or a sandwich with the toys placed on the table. It is also something new seeing psychology have a role in robotics.

+In terms of lab culture, the lab is not that organized (Dongbin would go crazy haha). I spent time looking for an extension cord because everything is just randomly placed in certain areas.
