General Introduction

There are four specialized groups:

• Robots and Industrial Manipulators Group (Chair for Robots and Industrial Manipulators). Comprising experts in Mechanics, Mechanical Engineering, and Control.
• Parallel Robots Group (Chair for Parallel Robots). Comprising experts in Mechanics, Mechanical Engineering, and Control.
• Electric Cars and Motorbikes Group (Chair for Electric Cars and Motorbikes)
• CNC Machines Group (Chair for CNC Machines). Comprising experts in Transportation, Mechanical Engineering, and Control.

Mission:

Responsible for research and development of robotic systems, robot control methods, and motion control. More broadly, this group also addresses issues in the field of mechatronics.

Specifically:

• Research and design industrial manipulators, other robotic mechanisms (e.g., parallel robots, mobile robots), and their associated equipment.

• Study control methods for different types of robots, such as:

  • Sequential robots (e.g., industrial manipulators)

  • Parallel robots (e.g., hexapods)

• Develop control methods for surface-following systems (e.g., rail-guided vehicles, road-tracking electric cars), along with the design of accompanying control equipment.

• Develop control strategies for complex motion systems in machining and processing equipment, and manufacture supporting devices.

• Research and design hardware and software for robot and motion control.
