Welcome to CRML
CRML is a research lab led by Dr. Guoxin FANG, Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Automation Engineering at The Chinese University of Hong Kong.
From robotic manufacturing to embodied intelligence.
We develop computational methods to fabricate complex structures and control deformable robots. Our goal is to connect advances in design and manufacturing with the ability of robots to perceive and interact with their surroundings.
