Strategic Objectives
• Master the mathematical foundations of stiffness and damping adjustment.
• Design controllers that allow robots to interact safely with humans.
• Implement real-time energy-efficient mechanical responses.
• Bridge the gap between rigid automation and fluid biological motion.
The Core Challenge
Traditional robots are rigid and dangerous in unpredictable environments, lacking the physical nuance required for human-robot collaboration.
