IRON Lab

The IRON Lab closed in 2021 when assistant professor Daniel Szafir relocated to the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill.

The Interactive Robotics and Novel Technologies (IRON) lab, directed by Assistant Professor Dan Szafir, explores 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 creates technologies that enable new forms of human assistance in applications, including collaborative work, education and space exploration.
