Research interests

My research is using smart material to build soft rigid variable hardware devices for physical human-robot interaction (pHRI). In my undergraduate period, I focused on Variable Impendence Actuators (VIA), such as a compliant hydraulic actuator achieving by using Magnetorheological Fluids (MRFs), and an inertia adjustable mechanism with flywheel. In my graduate school period, I focus on soft robotics using Magnetorheological Elastomers (MREs). With this new material, the pneumatic system can be eliminated. Now, in my PhD period, I start to focus on sensors and haptic displays by using smart materials.

Keywords:

pHRI, VIA, actuator, smart material, soft robotics, suction cup

Working experiences

Internship

DJI Japan

2018.3 – 2018.10

In the period of Intern, I learned basic knowledge about camera control and focus evaluation. At the first one month, I made the specification translation from Japanese to English. After that, I did the camera focus evaluation and camera lens control by using STM32. And then, I built the Matlab Simulink model about the new kind of lens head.

2019.10 – 2020.8

I am taking charge of developing and debugging a lens manufacturing simulation software by using C#.
