Modular self-reconfigurable robotic systems have strong self-adaptation and self-healing ability, which makes it capable of coping with various tasks in complex and changeable environments. Most existing modular self-reconfigurable robots have connection constraints on the mechanical structure.
The omni-directional kart, named “OK-1”, is a hybrid electric vehicle with technology of omni-directional steering, which is designed and developed in the Advance Robotics Lab. It is omni-directional, because it can make crab-like parallel translation and tornado-like rotation.
The objective of the development of Treebot is to assist or replace human being in performing forestry tasks on trees.
The team has actively arranged the research and development of marine robot system. The marine robot team has established a core scientific research team of more than 10 people, including 3 professors (overseas high-level talents), 4 doctors, 6 doctoral students, 3 engineers and research assistants.
