Education of the next-generation leader and innovators in robotics and intelligent systems is one core mission of the HKU AIR Lab. Below are the research topics designed for Master Dissertations and undergraduate projects:
- Insect-scale bioinspired flapping-wing robots
- Near-field driven bioinspired jellyfish robots
- Data-Efficient iterative learning control of a momentum-driven microrobot moving on inclined terrains
- Internal magnetically actuated earthworm-like metameric microrobot for locomotion in diverse environments
- Internal magnetically actuated micro-glider with escape capability
- Human-machine interaction sensors based on metamaterial structures and TENG principles
- Bioinspired electronic skin systems for human-machine interaction
- Large model-driven integrated measurement-processing-monitoring technology for weakly rigid thin-walled parts
- Intelligent assembly methods for industrial robots under multi-source constraints
- Developing robots that serve deaf and mute individuals, leveraging large sign language models (e.g., SignGemma) and the VLA framework to enhance their daily living
- Wearable robotics and exoskeleton for elderly and disabled people
Our research focused on microrobotic manipulation, miniaturized robots, AI for medicine and manufacturing, and smart sensors and actuators. If you have any projects or research ideas that fall in our research scope, please feel free to work with us.
