Research Directions

The team's research focuses on embedded computer system design and applications, as well as multimodal perception and control for robots. Specific areas include:

1. Embodied intelligent edge computing terminals based on NPU hardware platforms and embedded Linux operating systems, enabling intelligent perception and manipulation for multi-degree-of-freedom robotic dexterous hands;

2. Robot tactile perception based on multimodal data fusion, achieving embodied intelligence in complex scenarios through deep learning and sensor fusion techniques;

3. Medical endoscopic surgical robots, featuring tactile perception micro-electro-mechanical sensor systems for surgical forceps fabricated using micro-nano manufacturing technology, coupled with deep learning for precise force sensing and control during endoscopic procedures.
