Research Interests
Professor Howe research focuses on the role of sensing and mechanical
design in motor control, in both robots and humans. His work draws
upon diverse disciplines, including biomechanics, systems analysis,
and neurophysiology. The main approach is experimental, although
analysis and simulation play important parts. In conjunction with
industrial partners, Professor Howe is developing applications of
this research in biomedical instrumentation, teleoperated robots,
and intelligent sensors.
