معرفی
Aaron M. Dollar is the Frederick W. Beinecke Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Yale University, affiliated with the Yale Grab Lab. His research focuses on robotics, mechatronics, robotic grasping, and prosthetics, emphasizing adaptive mechanisms and human-robot interaction. He holds a PhD from Harvard University (2008) and degrees from UMass Amherst.
Key research areas include dexterous manipulation, underactuated mechanisms, and assistive devices. His work bridges theory and practical applications, with contributions to prosthetic hands, robotic hands, and modular robotics systems.
- Recipient of prestigious awards: TR35 Innovator (2010), NSF CAREER Award (2010), DARPA Young Faculty Award (2013), and Air Force Young Investigator Award (2011).
- Developed the Yale MyoAdapt Hand, a single-actuator prosthetic with high functionality.
- Pioneered methods in real-to-sim transfer, modular lattice printing, and energy-aware robotic exploration.
His lab, the Yale Grab Lab, explores robotics, prosthetics, and human motion analysis. Recent projects include autonomous calibration systems (ARC-Calib) and low-cost robotic hardware (RB5 Explorer).
