The Intelligent Small-scale Robotics Laboratory (IS²R Lab) focuses on
interdisciplinary research in intelligent robotics at small scales,
bridging fundamental science, physical mechanisms, intelligent
control, medical equipment development, and translational biomedical
applications. By integrating robotics, micro/nano systems, medical
imaging, machine learning, deep learning, and brain–machine interface
technologies, IS²R Lab aims to develop next-generation intelligent
robotic systems and medical-engineering equipment for precision
medicine.
-
Our research encompasses the design, fabrication, actuation,
imaging feedback, automated control, and AI-enabled decision-making
of small-scale robots and intelligent robotic systems.
-
We investigate the collective behaviors, actuation, manipulation,
and control of swarming micro/nanorobots for applications including
medical imaging-guided active delivery and targeted therapy.
-
We also develop robotic medical equipment, including targeted
delivery systems, untethered and tethered interventional robotic
systems, cell robot-based intervention platforms, and intelligent
medical-engineering equipment for precision diagnosis and therapy.
-
Our work in AI-enabled micro/nanomanipulation explores dynamic
self-assembly, autonomous manipulation, learning-based control, and
intelligent operation of micro/nano agents, cells, biological
samples, and functional materials.
-
In addition, we study the design, fabrication, sensing, modeling,
and multimodal control of soft robotic systems, wearable biomedical
devices, intelligent rehabilitation platforms, and brain–machine
interface-related medical equipment.
