About HUR Group

HUR group started in September 2014 when Dr. Pilwon Hur started his position as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Texas A&M University. The acronym "HUR" has several meanings: 1) HUman Rehabilitation, 2) Humans Union Robots, 3) Humans, You (U), and Robots, and 4) the last name of Dr. Hur.
HUR group ultimately seeks to 1) understand how the central nervous system controls human sensorimotor behavior in Bayesian optimal ways, 2) develop and control robots that autonomously and seamlessly interact with humans for muliple purposes, e.g., assistance, rehabilitation. The following schematic shows the overall research summary and thrusts. Picture
