Our research in haptics and telerobotics spans from stability-guaranteed control to truly immersive interfaces, enabling hyper-realistic human–robot interaction. We are also advancing Physical AI technologies to transfer human contact-rich manipulation skills to robotic systems.
Taking inspiration from plants, we create soft robots that grow to move, opening new possibilities for locomotion. These robots are finding applications in disaster response, inspection, medicine, and many other fields.
We develop practical, robust solutions for autonomous navigation that work without HD maps, relying only on SD maps and local onboard sensors to achieve reliable self-driving.
We pursue innovative mechanical design to tackle key challenges in construction robotics. Through advanced soft actuators, wearable systems, and mechanically intelligent systems, we develop practical robotic solutions for demanding construction environments. In the long term, we aim to expand beyond terrestrial applications and advance robotic technologies for space construction.
