로봇및기계전자공학과

Robots to make human life more convenient and enriching, such as service robots that assist and help humans in various fields such as home, public places, medical care, national defense, firefighting, and public security, and manufacturing robots that produce products at industrial manufacturing sites are widely used recently.

In the Department of Robotics at DGIST, we are researching various robot technologies for humans, such as robot arms, robotic hands, walking and running robots, biomimetic robots, industrial manufacturing robots, sports/leisure robots, and sensors/actuators.

Surgical robots are widely used for surgical intervention into a narrow/confined space inside the human body with their tiny and dexterous robotic arm.

The department of Robotics at DGIST is leading the next generation of surgical robotics technology based on cutting-edge research projects, including flexible endoscopic surgical robots, AI-assisted surgery, task automation, smart navigation, and augmented reality-assisted surgery.

The paradigm of robot control has shifted from the high precision control of industrial robot to the intelligent robot control to support various daily life works.

Collaborative robots, wearable robots, biomimetic robots require advanced control that can learn and determine their motion to achieve versatile tasks.

DGIST RE department is working on these topics focusing on novel human robot interaction control as well as learning and optimization.

Microbots that travels inside human boday for drug delivery and micro surgeries is emerging as one of the most promising medical technologies.

DGIST RE is working on magnetic field actuated microbots with electrical, optical, and thermal functions.

Also we explore a wide range of functional materials to develop smarter and more efficient mircobot systems.

Such technologies require the application of AI, real-time medical imaging systems, external multi-coil magnetic stimulator, as well as world-class cell culture and animal experiment facilities.
