The Advanced
Materials and Robotics Laboratory offers a research and development environment
that brings together two distinct disciplines and enables interdisciplinary
collaboration. Within the field of materials science, the laboratory provides a
modern R&D setting where advanced surface treatment processes are applied.
It is equipped with anodization systems and electrophoretic deposition (EPD)
equipment, which make it possible to carry out high-performance coating and
surface enhancement studies.
In
addition, the laboratory provides facilities for miniature robot design and
prototyping within the field of robotics. A laser cutting system is available
to transform two-dimensional designs into three-dimensional prototypes,
particularly in the area of miniature robotics. The laboratory also includes a walking
track equipped with image processing systems for prototype testing.
The advanced
materials discipline supports the testing of various materials used in
prototype robot production, offering an excellent example of interdisciplinary
collaboration between materials science and robotics.
