Computer Aided Mechanical dynAmic System Laboratory
Our research interests are in the field of dynamic system design, analysis, and control with special emphasis on mechatronic and robotic
applications. The design and control of multi-energy domain coupled mechatronic systems is different from the conventional
dynamic systems from the various points of view since their functionalities are significantly affected by the highly coupled energy transport.
Our research for the coupled multi-energy domain physical systems and our challenge for the development of
a unified modeling and control provide graduate students with deep information and insight on mechatronic dynamic systems.
Our attempts will build up a platform leading the modern robotic technology. Current on-going researches are,
Robotic Mechanism Design
Hydraulic robot manipulator design and impedance/compliance control for human guided robotic operation
Coupled multi-leg mobile robot high performance actuator mechanism design and control
Pneumatic dexterous gripper design and control for soft object manipulation
Cleanroom operation robot manipulator design and control for semiconductor wafer transportation
Human Machine Interactions
Modeling and identification of inferences about human task intent and proactive action on the part of the robotic actuation
