Thesis title: Neuromechanical Activity of the Wrist Muscles During Stabilization Tasks, co-advised with Dr. Shinohara in Applied Physiology.
Cellular Actuators inspired by Biological Muscles, Dr. Jun Ueda, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, USA Actuators are one of the key components in robotic and mechatronic systems. Motions generated by actuators enable computer-controlled systems to interact with the physical world. Inspired by unique characteristics of biological muscles, a system-level approach…

A new NSF grant on robotic vision has been awarded. The project will study fast dynamic robot vision with muscle inspired actuators. Project title: Integrated Computer Vision System Based on Human Eye Motion, CMMI 1662029, PI: Ueda (Georgia Tech), $332,659, 7/1/2017-6/30/2020
A team of Georgia Tech researchers is working with a private company to develop the Soldier Vertical Mobility System (SVMS) – a backpack-type propulsion system allows individuals to hover, travel, and maneuver hundreds of feet above the ground. Dr. Jun Ueda‘s lab has been developing an exoskeleton to help push…
An AOARD (part of AFOSR) grant “Hybrid site sensing and human-multi-robot team collaboration for disaster relief at nuclear power plants” has been awarded. Dr. Ueda (as the US co-PI) will work with Dr. Cho in CE (the US PI) and collaborators in the Hanyang University for the development of remote…
Kevin is the GWW ME school’s nomination for the Outstanding Undergraduate Researcher Award. He has been involved in the NSF NRI project on adaptive haptic interface. The award will be given at the Spring Undergraduate Research Symposium on April 18, 2017 in the Student Center Ballroom. Congratulations, Kevin!!
