We focus on the development of soft actuators and artificial muscle, which
can be applied to intra/extra human body robotics, haptic-feedback systems,
wearable power suits, and flexible and soft electronics.
We design energy harvesting systems and triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs),
which can produce electricity from mechanical kinetic energy.
We develop structural battery possessing both load bearing capability and energy storage function.
The structural batteries are crucial to the next-generation transportation vehicles
such as UAV, UAM, and electrical vehicles.
We investigate mechanical metamaterials and topological insulators,
which show the unparalleled wave transmission and acoustic bandgap.
