About Us

The Helbling Robotics Lab focuses on designing autonomous insect-scale robotic platforms that can perform sustained, intelligent operation in real-world environments. We focus on holistic design founded in both theory and experiments in which we co-design mechanisms, system architecture, and control with the final environment and task in mind. In the group, this work is divided into two main themes: (1) leveraging cm-scale physics to develop effective locomotion strategies at the insect-scale, and (2) overcoming challenges to design and integrate mm-scale perception, power, and control systems.

We are a part of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Cornell University.
