Human-Empowering Robotics and Control (HERC) Lab

Empowering Humans with Robots

Texas A&M University College of Engineering

Undergraduate Students

Our undergraduate student researchers focus on next-generation human-empowering systems.

Santiago Gonzalez

He is designing the joints and tendon routing for mechanically-actuated fingers that will be used for the HAND project.

Kayson Hergert

She is working on the hardware design of a human input device for a lower-limb exoskeleton to improve user interaction and performance

James Lee

He is working on integrating various sensors and a real-time controller into the DUCK-E 2 exoskeleton.

Yousuf Shafiu

He is working on implementing a real-time controller for the DUCK-E 2 exoskeleton to understand human preferences between direct and autonomous exoskeleton control.

Eddy Silva

He is working on the DUCK-E2 exoskeleton project and plans to publish a thesis through the URS program in Spring of 2026.

Renee Zhu

She is developing a motion capture system using multi-modal sensors to capture the kinematics and kinetics during human walking.

Ryo Kato

He is working on implementing control algorithms for the KUKA iiwa LBR 14, as well as designing test beds for experimentation with the algorithms.
