Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) is a forthcoming air transportation system that will broaden the aviation service coverage by introducing revolutionary aircraft technology. AAM holds immense potential for transforming urban and regional transportation networks, with a substantial influence on the future of how people and goods will be transported within smart cities. Our lab is dedicated to becoming a leading research entity in the field of autonomous flight, with the aim of facilitating the realization of AAM.

A robot equipped with various methods of locomotion can navigate demanding environments that may pose challenges to single-mode locomotion robots. It can also enhance its mobility by adapting to different environmental conditions through the selection of appropriate locomotion modes. Furthermore, when these diverse locomotion mechanisms work in tandem, they have the potential to synergize and enable highly complex and efficient mobility. 

In our lab, we are actively delving into the possibilities and conceptualizing innovative robotic applications for these novel multi-modal locomotion robots. 

Much like humans, robots can enhance their performance when they collaborate with one another. Collaboration among robots can be advantageous in various scenarios, such as search and rescue missions, warehouse automation, and manufacturing. When robots collaborate, they can distribute tasks, share information, and complement each other's capabilities, leading to improved efficiency and performance. In our lab, we are actively researching approaches to integrate heterogeneous robots and elevate the practicality of multi-robot systems in real-world applications.
