Robotics and Intelligent Systems

The Robotics and Intelligent Systems Research Group at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering is dedicated to advancing research and innovation in autonomous systems, intelligent machines, and next-generation robotic technologies. Our work integrates mechanical design, embedded systems, perception, control, and artificial intelligence to develop robust and adaptive solutions for real-world engineering challenges.

Supported by state-of-the-art facilities, including the Electric Vehicles Lab, Robotics and Automation Lab, and Systems Dynamics and Controls Lab—our research spans autonomous mobile robots, intelligent manipulation and grasping systems, soft robotics, and bio-inspired compliant grippers. We investigate motion planning, perception-driven control, multi-sensor fusion, and learning-based decision-making to enable safe and efficient operation in dynamic environments.

In parallel, our electric mobility research focuses on vehicle dynamics, energy management, and intelligent control strategies for sustainable transportation systems. Through a strong blend of experimental validation and analytical modeling, the group aims to bridge theory and application, contributing to advances in smart manufacturing, precision agriculture, assistive technologies, and autonomous mobility.

We welcome collaboration with academia and industry partners who share our vision of shaping the future of robotics and intelligent engineering systems.
