The Computational Robotics and Manufacturing Lab (CRML) is lead by Dr. Guoxin FANG, assistant professor at Department of Mechanical and Automation Engineering, The Chinese University of Hong Kong. Our research bridges the domains of computer science—particularly computer graphics—with robotics, advanced manufacturing, smart electronics, and beyond. By integrating expertise from these diverse areas, we strive to tackle complex challenges and develop innovative computation solutions that push the boundaries of technology.
We engaged in several cutting-edge research area - see research page for details (publication can be found on google scholar).
The main on-going projects include:
1) Robot-assisted multi-axis advanced manufacturing;
2) Soft robot: with a main focus on modeling and sensor-based perception & proprioception;
3) Computational design and digital manufacturing for personalized (multi)-functional wearable devices.
We actively looking for self-motivated researchers at all academic career stage (PhD students, research assistants, postdoctoral researchers, UG summer intern) to join our group, please check the Team Page for details.
