The Intelligent Control and Robotics Laboratory was established in 1990 with the mission of educating creative students with a global perspective and conducting world-class research that benefits humanity in the field of intelligent control and robotics.
The laboratory emphasizes a balance between fundamental academic research and practical industrial applications. Its research areas include input shaping control, motion and force control, intelligent robotics, multi-axis force sensors, embedded mechatronic systems, and advanced control theory. Application areas include service robots, industrial robots, railway vehicles, and atomic force microscopes.
Professor Chul-Goo Kang, the founder and director of the laboratory, retired from Konkuk University in February 2024.
