RESEARCH PROJECTS

The omni-directional kart, named “OK-1”, is a hybrid electric vehicle with technology of omni-directional steering, which is designed and developed in the Advance Robotics Lab. It is omni-directional, because it can make crab-like parallel translation and tornado-like rotation. Hence, parking becomes an easy manipulation for even a freshman of driving.

We are developing a coherent set of technologies which seamlessly integrate the computer-aided design, smart materials, learning algorithm, human interface, control strategy and network communication of smart toys.

A mobile robot that can monitor, play with, and feed pets remotely when the owners are away from their pets.
