About Us
Welcome to the Biorobotics Laboratory in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at KAIST! Since opening the lab in 2004, we are an interdisciplinary group of researchers interested in research in haptics and physical human-robot interactions in various environments. The goals of the research are to integrate information technologies and intelligent machines into the unstructured environment in which humans and machines closely interact together. Various multidisciplinary investigations involving modeling of the biomechanical system, sEMG based motion intention, psychophysics, tactile sensor, motor control, real-time robotic skin, and manipulation technologies are employed. We respect openness and diversity in our lab and based on this, we are conducting world-class and limit-breaking research.
