Research / Projects
Research projects are presented as evolving engineering systems rather than static portfolio pieces. Each record connects the underlying problem, technical architecture, current evidence, and next validation step.
The current flagship line investigates a modular SMA-driven ankle rehabilitation platform. Selected student projects in autonomous navigation, simulation, manipulation, and controller optimization are documented through GitHub and may be incorporated here as their technical records mature.
This section distinguishes ongoing research systems from peer-reviewed outcomes. For published results, see Publications.
