Robotics is a well accepted solution to the problems of the aging society, including labor shortage, caring of the elder, medical treatment, etc. In the student open projects, I wish to give the students a platform to develop their own robot with the knowledge learned in the class and try to solve the challenges in the aging society as Hong Kong.Â
Four of the key areas are:
1) Surgical robotics and instruments
2) Assistive robot, such as rehabilitation robot and exoskeleton
3) Biomimetics in robot locomotion, sensing, actuation, etc.
4) Human Robot Interaction (HRI)
All students are welcome to join! For those who are interested, feel free to contact with me.
