Bio mimetic (or Nature inspired) technology aims to investigate and analyze the structure and the motion of animals or plants on the earth, which evolved for a long period, and tries to extract the valuable information from the procedure to design the engineering system.

The main objective of this research is to conduct research and development of the creative robot and mechatronics system.

To do this, soft robot technology using soft/smart materials as well as conventional robot technology based on machining is used to build multi-functional and diverse robot. Elementary and essential technologies such as sensors and actuators are also studied for robot/mechatronics application.

Application of the developed technology to the medical and industrial robot/mechatronics field based on the above research is our research goal.

The Bio Robotics and Mechatronics laboratory (BRM Lab.) was founded in 2016 by Prof. Dongwon Yun. The goal of this lab is to get ideas from nature to implant the findings into robotic and mechatroncis systems. We pursue to develop the novel and creative robot and engineering systems through this study for applications in medical, military and industrial fields.

 

Our research interest includes

- Biomimetic Robot

- Soft Robotics

- Sensors and actuators

- Study on the medical/industrial application

- Conventional Robotic and Mechatronics technology for real application
