BIO-INTERACTIVE ROBOT DESIGN LAB

at Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST)

We foster bio-interactive intelligence by designing next-generation robot systems

​We aim to create intelligent robot systems at the intersection of architected materials, soft electronics, soft robotics, AI, and biomedical engineering. Our goal spans a broad range of future robot applications from cellular/tissue-scale microrobots to human-scale robotic skin and to environment-scale robotic construction.
