Ignite the future through ground-breaking non-mainstream research,  pushing boundaries 5-10 years ahead.

Beyond robots, humans, AI, let's build the future together.

Our dream is supported by taxpayers' money, we would cherish all possible ways to return back!

We are broadly interested in out-of-the-mainstream research; we firmly believe in our own understanding of intelligent systems; we are only passionate about unforeseeable potential.

We value both hardware and software development; our research necessitates the nature of interdisciplinary knowledge: Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science, Electrical Engineering (Electronics), Computer Science, Chemical Engineering, Physics, Biology, and Applied Math.

Our lab currently focuses on the following major topics:

• Fundamental Science: Theory in Haptic Superresolution

• Fundamental Science: Theory in Sensing Network

• Nature-inspired: Neuromorphic Sensing

• Nature-inspired: Biological Sensing Organs

• Application in Robotics: Haptic Sensors and Dexterous Manipulation

• Application in Humans: Wearables and Large Motion Model

• Science+Nature Exploration: Emerging Behaviors of Multi-agent Soft Robots

• Science+Nature Exploration: Live-Cell Robots

• Science+Nature Exploration: Generative AI Powered by Analog Signals

• Curious about Nature and Serious about Science (Theory Foundation)

• Comprehensive Training as a Roboticist (Creative Hardware Designs and Intelligent Algorithms)

• Tool Innovation for Interdisciplinary Exploration (Application)

• Real-world-oriented Development for Society (Commitment)

• Undergraduates at PKU: email Huanbo or WeChat (HuanboSun) for a chat. 

  • Let's discuss all possible research topics; there are tons of interesting, unexplored, and unexploited areas waiting to be discovered, just like you. 

• Prospective Graduate Students (Ph.D. & Master): email Huanbo with CV+Transcripts+Research Statements.

  • We encourage diversity across all dimensions; we exchange multi-faceted thoughts; we thrive hand-in-hand.

• Prospective Postdocs: email Huanbo with CV+Two Representative Papers+Research Statements+2 Refs.

  • We share the same research interests; we work towards our shared goals; we celebrate our achievements together.

• Prospective Interns and Visiting Researchers: email Huanbo with CV+Motivation Letter.

  • We don't care where you are from; we value where we plan to go; we explore unforeseeable potential together.
