UC San Diego

Advanced robotics and controls research, partner in NVIDIA's GR00T humanoid work

UC San Diego's Advanced Robotics and Controls Laboratory conducts foundational research in humanoid and legged robotics, and serves as a university partner in NVIDIA's GR00T reference humanoid program.

UC San Diego's robotics research spans motion planning, whole-body control, and learning-based approaches to robotic manipulation and locomotion, with particular strength in low-level control for dynamic systems. The university's partnership with NVIDIA on GR00T reference humanoid work connects its academic research directly to the development of next-generation humanoid foundation models. UCSD researchers have contributed to hardware platforms and control algorithms that address the demanding real-time requirements of full-size humanoid robots. The lab's interdisciplinary approach draws on mechanical engineering, computer science, and neuroscience to advance the state of the art in embodied AI.
