Vision and tactile sensing for intelligent robots

Visual and tactile sensors are important elements for robots to know information about objects and the environment. In our laboratory, we are researching on vision and tactile sensors and their information processing technology, as well as intelligent robots and automation systems based on the sensing technology. Our recent research projects include vision-based control of aerial robots, embedded computer vision systems, tactile sensors with high spatial resolution using cameras, and development of ultra-high speed silicon image sensors etc.
  • Vision-based control of aerial robot

  • Tactile-based control of manipulator
