Robotics

Our Robotics team is devoted to Multi-Scale Robotic Manipulation and Interaction, powered by Machine Learning and Digital Twin Technology. We focus on Design, Kinematics and Dynamics, Modeling, Fabrication, System Integration, and Control, with applications in the Manufacturing, Energy, and Health industries.

MAIN SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL INTERESTS

Our five research themes:

  • Design and Control Theory of Robots
  • Robotic Industrial Manufacturing and Production
  • Robotic Rehabilitation
  • Robotic Inspection and Maintenance
  • Robotic Single-Cell Handling
