Frequently Asked Questions
I'm a prospective graduate student. Can I do my graduate research in the lab?
First, you need to apply for admission to the graduate school for the university you are thinking about attending. We encourage you to contact the faculty at that lab to inquire about the process. The labs are always looking for good students. You do not need to know anything about social robotics or human-machine communication but instead have a firm understanding of the research process and be willing to learn.
I'm an undergraduate student. Can I work on a project the labs?
We usually have anywhere from three-eight undergraduate students working in the labs at any one time depending on the location. There have been a few undergraduates that have presented at conferences and even a publication or two. Depending on the location, undergraduate students can work for credit (sometimes pay). Send a faculty member an email and see what options might exist.
I love and love robots with my all heart. Can I see and interact with your robots?
Yes…you can. Visits with robots will be based on schedules around active research projects. Send us an email.
I'm with a media organization. Will you do an interview for me?
Most of the time, one of us would be more than willing to talk to you or send you to someone who can. It just depends on research activity and travel schedules at the time.
Can we partner with COMBOTLABs?
Reach out to us and we can talk. We have three lab partners (Germany, Chile, Kansas). You can find out more here.
