RESEARCH PROJECTS

We have developed a novel concept of mobile robot called Gyrover which is a single-wheel, gyroscopically stabilized robot, based on the principle of gyroscopic precession, as exhibited in stability of a rolling wheel.

We have developed a human-following wheeled mobile robot, which has the human tracking function, based on a sensory system to get the position of the target person in real-time. This mobile robot platform can be used for many applications. One potential application is the transportation of baggage in airports.
