Introduction


      We are interested in understanding the principles and mechanisms of locomotion and developing bio-inspired robotic systems capable of agile and robust motion, particularly for legged applications. Various mobile systems are built, studied, and evaluated using analytical, simulation, and experimental approaches. Research activities involve bio-inspired design, mechanical design, mechatronic systems, sensor applications, system dynamics, modeling, control, system integration, gait analysis, locomotion, and bio-materials.

      仿生機器人實驗室(Bio-inspired-Robotics Laboratory, 簡稱BioRoLa)的研究主軸,在於探索與研發各式可以產生運動的系統,從瞭解分析生物與非生物之運動行為本質開始(外顯現象和內在的物理機制),建立適合的運動模型,進而推展到「人造系統」之設計、製造、機電架設、系統控制、運動行為分析與規劃、造最後的系統整合。於科學面,冀望以發展移動機器人之方式,來輔助探討生物於不同外在環境下在運動方式上的演化與發展;於工程面,則試圖整合人類工程發展上現有之智識,來開發可應用於多樣化外在環境下之各式運動平台。

      簡單來說,研究是以 motion 問題為核心,尤其著力在Locomotion議題上,並向外延伸。
