Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolZackory Erickson is a tenure-track Research Scientist and Assistant Professor in the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, where he leads the Robotic Caregiving and Human Interaction (RCHI) Lab. He develops foundational machine learning, control, and multimodal sensing methods to enable physical human-robot interaction, focused on robotic caregivers that help older adults and people with disabilities live more independently. With a PhD in Robotics from Georgia Tech under Charlie Kemp and over a decade of research experience, he bridges rigorous academic work and applied assistive systems. His work uniquely pairs perception-driven learning with control for safe, assistive manipulation in real-world settings. Based in Pittsburgh, he combines hands-on robotics experimentation with a clear societal mission to reduce the burden on human caregivers.
