Welcome to Control Systems and Mechatronics Lab
The INHA Control Systems and Mechatronics Lab (CSML) was established by Professor Gi-Woo Kim in 2021. Our lab investigates new methods of advancing the field of data-driven mechatronics engineering; machine larning, measurement, and advanced control. The thrust area includes a sensor and actuator using a new types of smart materials (e.g., PR fluids, mechno-luminescence materials), vehicular electronics and smart mobility, flexible optoelectronic applications for internet of things (IoT). Our lab will continue to explore new research opportunities and to find potential graduate students with the expertise to conduct our on-going research projects. Please feel free to contact if you need further information.
