Welcome to Lippy Robotics Research Lab

Welcome to the Lipscomb University undergraduate Lippy Robotics lab page. Our lab serves as a collaborative space where innovation, education, and cutting-edge research intersect to advance robotics.

We do state-of-the-art research primarily with undergraduate students and publish at the highest level.

This page aims to help beginners in the field to scale up their knowledge and skills and get to work with state-of-the-art robotics and research more quickly.

We welcome students from any institution to collaborate: from graduates, to undergraduates, to high school students. If you are interested, shoot me an email: juan ‘dot’ rojas ‘at’ lipscomb ‘dot edu.
