Stanford Personal Robotics Program

Platform technology for mobile manipulation research in human environments

Stanford Personal Robotics Program develops PR1, a prototype mobile manipulation platform designed for research and development. PR1 enables robots to perform mobile manipulation tasks in human environments. The program was led by Professor Kenneth Salisbury and developed by Keenan Wyrobek and Eric Berger as foundational platform technology for the personal robotics industry. PR1 preceded PR2, which was later developed at Willow Garage.
