Research Areas

Two Pillars, One Vision

Two research pillars, soft and humanoid robotics,
working toward one seamless human–robot interface.

Soft Robotics

Human-centered wearable systems built from soft, stretchable sensors, variable-stiffness actuators, and thermo-haptic feedback – interpreting human motion in real time.

Humanoid Robotics

Humanoid robots that extend human presence – combining dexterous hands, lifelike artificial skin, and real-time whole-body control for immersive, intuitive teleoperation.
