SNU College of Engineering (Dean Kookheon Char) announced on 2nd that the research team led by Professor Yong-Lae Park of the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering won the Best Conference Paper Award at the RoboSoft 2019 held at Coex, Seoul from April 14th to 18th.
This event hosted by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is an international conference on soft robots that gathers experts from all around the world at one place. The first-ever conference was sparked off in Italy last year and Korea received the baton to be the host of the second conference.
Professor Yong-Lae Park who leads the Soft Robotics & Bionics Lab of SNU Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering participated in this conference to collaborate with Professor Haewon Park from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (currently, Professor of KAIST’s Department of Mechanical Engineering). The joint research team won the award with its successful final product.
Professor Yong-Lae Park’s team brought in their artificial skin that can expand and shrink and detect the position and size of the site of interaction. This was combined with the legs of quadruped robots developed by Professor Haewon Park’s team. The result of applying soft sensing technology was an enhancement in robot’s safety and adaptability to surrounding environment and this application was recognized for its originality and excellence.
Professor Yong-Lae Park stated, “We suggested a future robot platform by introducing soft robotic technologies used in developing sensors and actuators to quadruped mobile robots. We will continue our innovative research with the achievements made at the conference as our new basis.”
This research was completed as a part of the Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy’s support plan to develop “Fundamental Technology for Next-Generation Robots for Disaster Relief and Humanitarian Aid.” This plan is operated under Korea-US joint research.
Title of Article: Design of A Lightweight Inflatable Sensing Sleeve for Increased Adaptability and Safety of Legged Robots (T. Kim, J. Park, S. J. Yoon, D. H. Kong, H. Park, and Y.-L. Park).
