About us

The Robot and Protein Kinematics (RPK) Laboratory is currently actively involved in research on Robot Imagination, Robot Motion Planning, Humanoid Robots, 3D Vision, Crystallography. We are interested in applying Lie group theory and machine learning methods into intelligent robotics research. Our long-term goal is to allow robots to have the intelligence to undestand and interact with common objects in the unstructured household environment.

Previously, our group have worked on developed theory for ‘hyper- redundant’ (snakelike) robot motion planning, hyper-redundant robotic manipulator arms, modular self-reconfigurable robots, applied mathematics (applications of group theory in engineering), self-replicating robotic systems, computational structural biology (in particular, computational mechanics of large proteins), and conformational statistics of biological macromolecules

Our group is directed by Prof. Gregory S. Chirikjian, and is part of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the National University of Singapore.
