Fitzpatrick Center (FCIEMAS) building on Duke's campus

Welcome to the DexLab

The research goal of the Robot Dexterity Lab (DexLab) is human-level dexterity in robotic manipulation. In the DexLab, we believe that dexterity is a crucial manipulation capability that all robots will have in the future. Dexterity is not just manipulation with complex, high-DoF hands; it is the motion intelligence with vast complexity that still awaits more understanding. 

We are seeking graduate students passionate about robotic manipulation starting in Fall 2025. More information regarding the PhD openings can be found here.
