Human-Empowering Robotics and Control (HERC) Lab

Empowering Humans with Robots

Texas A&M University College of Engineering

Undergraduate Students

Zachary Bucknor-Smartt

BS Mechanical Engineering '25

Zachary works with code, systems, and hardware for the strength amplifying arm project. Most recently he has been applying MIMO system identification to the arm model, visualized with a 3×3 grid of Bode plots.

Elizabeth Hannsz

BS Aerospace Engineering

Elizabeth is a talented mechanical designer working on designing a belt-less prosthetic knee for Open Source Leg (OSL).

Landry Graves

B.S Mechanical Engineering '25

Landry is a member of Texas A&M’s Engineering Honors program and is researching direct user control methods for exoskeletons. He is currently designing and developing hardware for a knee exoskeleton and human input device.

Javid Mustafa

BS Mechanical Engineering '25

Javid has interned as an undergraduate researcher for the TAMU SpaceCRAFT, RAD, and HERC Labs working on software, system integration, and controls. His research centers around implementing and testing the efficacy of direct user inputs in training the personalized gait estimation controller for the MBLUE exoskeleton outside steady state laboratory conditions. .

Mamta Korwani

BS Mechanical Engineering '25

Mamta is a senior Mechanical Engineering student at Texas A&M University. Her research focuses on enabling direct user control of a knee exoskeleton by integrating mechanical design with software systems.

Willem Bannick

BS Mechanical Engineering '25

Willem is a Mechnical Engineering Senior at Texas A&M University. His current research focuses on the mitigation of displacement in lower-limb exoskeletons, and the hardware design of a human input device that could be used to train personalized gait patterns for lower-limb exoskeletons users.
