- Founded in late 2019, our vision at Zoom Lab is to create robots that can mechanically conform to the environment or objects that they interact with to alleviate the need for high-speed, high-accuracy, and high-precision controllers. We pursue this goal by developing compliant mechanisms for manipulators and robots, focusing on bio-inspiration and unconventional materials, and engaging with the community to increase interest in science and engineering. +The Intelligent Autonomous Manipulation (IAM) Lab at the [Carnegie Mellon University Robotics Insitute](https://ri.cmu.edu) brings together researchers to address the challenges of creating general purpose robots that are capable of performing manipulation tasks in unstructured and everyday environments. Our research focuses on developing learning methods for robots to model tasks and acquire versatile and robust manipulation skills in a sample-efficient manner. The ability to learn manipulation skills and adapt to new situations will open up a wide range of new robot applications, including deployment in hospitals, elder- and child-care, factories, space, restaurants, service industries, disaster scenarios, and the home.
