معرفی
Dr. Aman Behal is a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Central Florida's College of Engineering and Computer Science. He directs the Assistive Robotics and Hybrid Systems laboratories, with research focusing on rehabilitation robotics, human-robot interaction, nonlinear controls, and assistive technologies. His educational background includes a PhD in Electrical Engineering from Clemson University and an M.Tech from Indian Institute of Technology Bombay.
Research develops novel interfaces for wheelchair-mounted robotic arms to assist with daily living tasks, supported by NSF funding. Additional projects include computational neuronal network modeling for predictive neurobiology and deep learning approaches for robotic grasping. The UCF-MANUS robotic manipulator system enables real-world evaluation of assistive technologies through clinical collaborations.
Recent publications emphasize adaptive control strategies for robotic manipulation, human-robot interaction safety frameworks, and computer vision for autonomous grasping. Work frequently integrates machine learning with control theory for assistive applications.
- Charles N. Millican Faculty Fellow (2016 onwards)
Substantial grant funding includes NSF awards for adaptive human-robot interaction frameworks and social learning in mixed human-robot groups. Current doctoral students investigate neural interfaces, control algorithms, and assistive device applications. Editorial responsibilities include IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology and Journal of Aerospace Engineering.
