Interactive Robotics and Novel Technologies (IRON) Lab

The Interactive Robotics and Novel Technologies (IRON) lab, led by Dan Szafir, explored human-centered principles for developing novel sensing, interactive, and robotic technologies. Blending methods and techniques from computer science, design, engineering, and the social sciences, the lab created technologies that enabled new forms of human-assistance in applications including collaborative work, education, and space exploration.  Launched in fall 2016, the IRON Lab was closed in spring 2021 when Szafir left CU Boulder.
