Overview
Marquette University is a private Jesuit research university in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with an endowment of $1.13 billion (2025). Its Opus College of Engineering conducts robotics research through the Omron Advanced Automation Lab (industrial automation and Industry 4.0, established 2022 with a $1M+ gift from Omron) and the former Humanoid Engineering & Intelligent Robotics (HEIR) Lab, which built the MU-L8 humanoid and competed at RoboCup 2014. The university's biomedical engineering program advances wearable robotic rehabilitation technologies via the NeuroMotor Control Laboratory.
