Research
The MARs Lab conducts research in medical and soft robotics, micro/nano robotics, and automation at micro/nanometer scales. With a strong belief in interdisciplinary research in electrical, mechanical and biomedical engineering, we innovate and bring together techniques from different areas to invent new tools and technology.
Micro Nano Robotics
Microrobotic technology has been developed for manipulation of a large number of single cells for many important applications, such as characterizing cell-cell communication for screening drug effects, processing reprodcutive cells for in vitro fertilization (IVF).
Image Guided Surgery
The MARs lab has been developing the next-generation of medical devices and automated systems to provide patient-specific solutions and assist medical practitioners in diagnosis and treatments.
Soft Robotics
Using of the “smart” and soft materials, we also explore the soft robotics research with fewer auxiliary sensors and feedback loops to perform sophisticated tasks.
