Biorobotics and Mechatronics Laboratory
The Biorobotics and Mechatronics laboratory (BRM Lab.) was founded in 2016 by Prof. Dongwon Yun. The goal of this lab is to get ideas from nature to implant the findings into robotic and mechatroncis systems. We pursue to develop the novel and creative robot and engineering systems through this study for applications in medical, military and industrial fields.
Our research interest includes
- Biomimetic Robot
- Soft Robotics
- Sensors and actuators
- Study on the medical/industrial application
- Conventional Robotic and Mechatronics technology for real application
