The Virtual Reality & Mechanisms Laboratory (VRML) at UMBC is a facility to provide undergraduate and graduate students, the research and education on mechanism science, computational kinematics, design of machine systems, and applications of advanced virtual reality techniques in engineering design. Current research interests include:

• Automatic and interactive design of compliant mechanisms
• Virtual reality applications in design, manufacturing, and bio/nanotechnologies
• Computer-aided mechanism design
• Computational and theoretical kinematics and robotics
• Solving polynomial systems
