Lonnie Love

[Lonnie Love]

Professional

Lonnie Love received the B.S. and M.S. of Mechanical Engineering from Old Dominion University, in 1988 and 1990 respectively. He is currently a Ph.D. candidate in the George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering at Georgia Tech. His dissertation topic is Adaptive Impedance Control. This work is motivated by advances in the control of haptic interfaces and teleoperation of long reach, flexible manipulators. His research interests include robotics, dynamics, vibration and controls. Other professional interests include nonlinear and adaptive control, Digital Signal Processing (integrated with controls), as well as robotics in medical simulation and training.
