Researchers have created a new type of tiny 3D-printed robot that moves by harnessing vibration from piezoelectric actuators, ultrasound sources or even tiny speakers. A paper describing the micro-bristle-bots has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering. The research was supported by a seed grant from…
Alex has been selected one of the recipients of the prestigious undergraduate research awards (http://www.undergradresearch.gatech.edu/content/presidents-undergraduate-research-awards). Congratulations!
A collaborative project between GTRI (Dr. Ai-Ping Hu), Emory University (Dr. John Oshinski) and GT (Dr. Ueda) receives $50K seed grant from the 2018 IRIM Seed Grant Program. The project will develop a new robotic system for cell injection.
A lab graduate, Dr. Ellenor Brown (PhD in Applied Physiology, 2017), receives ORISE Postdoctoral fellowship at FDA. Congratulations!!
Michael D. Kim and Jun Ueda, Realization of smooth pursuit for a quantized, compliant camera positioning system, IEEE Transactions on Robotics, 2018. This paper presents a discrete switching controller for a realization of smooth pursuit. The human eye can produce both rapid and smooth movements, positioned by muscles that are…

National Science Foundation, CMMI, M3X – Mind, Machine, and Motor Nexus, Collaborative Research: Enhancing Gait Dynamics via Physical Human-human and Human-Robot Interactions at the Hands (#1761679), $319,231, PI: Essa, Co-PI: Ueda, 06/01/2018-05/30/2021. This is a collaborative project with Drs. Lena Ting and Madeleine Hackney at Emory University.
Dr. Ueda attended the 12th Sino-American Technology and Engineering Conference (SATEC) held between 5/13-5/19 in China. Ten U.S. experts invited through ASME (led by Dr. Schmiedeler with University of Notre Dame) in intelligent robotics visited companies and institutions in Anhui province and attended a meeting in Beijing. The ASME group…
Melih Turkseven and Jun Ueda, Model Based Force Control of Pneumatic Actuators with Long Transmission Lines, IEEE /ASME Transactions on Mechatronics, [LINK Xplore]. Pneumatic systems with long transmission lines have recently gained popularity in tele-operated robotic applications, such as medical robots designed for operations in magnetic resonance (MR) rooms, mobile…
Quincey Lowery presented his MS thesis on Shock Absorbing Exoskeleton for Vertical Mobility System and successfully completed the MS program. Great work and congratulations.
