Intelligent Robot Laboratory

Our laboratory studies focus on coupling intelligent control method and advanced service robot technology and also processing the researches of the application to industrial area using intelligent control method.
In order to achieve this goal, the following three fields are being investigated.

This field covers a development of a 4-legged walking robot with a view to working in rough and difficult terrain instead of human. Also, we are processing the researches of SMA(Shape Memory Alloy) actuators, multiple ultrasonic sensors, and vision sensors. Based on these technologies, we are developing a sweeping-type cleaning robot, human-friendly biomimetic robots, an edutainment(education/entertainment) robot, and rehabilitation robots.

This is focused on new learning methods based on fuzzy and artificial neural network theories. Recently, reinforcement learning and iterative learning control are processing.

This is being studied about H/W based on micro-controllers and DSPs, and is also being processed about S/W control based on RTOS and Windows.
