The Marquette University Humanoid Engineering & Intelligent Robotics (HEIR) Lab was a robotics lab in Marquette University's College of Engineering.
History
editThe lab was started in Engineering Hall in 2012. It was 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] They used Nao humanoid robots for some projects.[4][5]
A robot called MU-L8 was designed and built by the lab. Many of the parts were 3D printed.[6]
In 2014, the lab participated in the RoboCup 2014 competition.[7]
In the News
editMU-L8, a robot designed and built by the lab, was featured on the cover of Milwaukee Magazine's November 2013 issue.[8]
Members of the lab were interviewed by FOX 6 News Milwaukee on the building of a robot to compete at RoboCup.[9]
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel published an article on the lab's trip to the 2014 RoboCup competition in Brazil.[10]
In 2016, a team representing the lab traveled to Washington, D.C. for an event hosted by the Congressional Robotics Caucus.[11]
