Research Group:

Intelligent Systems Laboratory [ISL]

The Laboratory was established in 1997 at National Dong Hwa University by me for experimental and theoretical research in vision, robotics, and control. Since August 2001 the Laboratory has been affiliated to National Taipei University of Technology. We are interested in and actively working on high-performance pose control of robot manipulators using active multi-cameras and omni-directional vehicle control systems. We have a nicely equipped experimental research laboratory with state-of-the-art equipment including a six-degree-of-freedom robot arm, CCD cameras, workstations and computers, etc. Our current staff consists of nine graduate students (7 full-time and 2 part-time) and eight undergraduate students working on robotics and ITS projects.

News and Events:

The Control Division in EE is to recruit new Ph.D./Master's students this fall. Prospective graduate students are especially welcome to contact me directly for possible research opportunities in ISL.

The vision-based control system that we are working on is a PC-based computer-controlled intelligent system. We would be very interested in commercializing the system for industrial applications. Comments and suggestions from industry will be very much appreciated.

A novel passenger car and motorcycle vision-based detection system is being developed that can be integrated to a driver assist system for intelligent and safe transportation.

The 1999 IEEE CONTROL SYSTEMS AWARD has been awarded to A. Stephen Morse, IEEE fellow and Professor, Department of Electrical Engineering, Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut, U.S.A. "For pioneering the geometric approach to linear multivariable control synthesis and contributions to nonlinear and adaptive control theory."
--- Congratulations to Professor A. Stephen Morse, who is my doctoral thesis advisor.
