APCORE – Asia Pacific Center of Robotics Engineering

Research Area

Researches done are mainly focused on the following areas of interest

Telepresence Robot

Providing communicative abilities without the need to be physically present at the location
Biomedical Robotics

Development of affordable exoskeletons to aid rehabilitation patients
Soft Robotics

Developing soft actuators that allows the robot to perform delicate tasks
Industry 4.0

Integration of robotics and automation for base control systems and interfaces
Humanoid Robot

Enhancing the capabilities of humans through the use of robotics
Robotics Vision

Provides sensor for the robot to identify, analyze and interact with its environment

Our AIMS

The center aims to develop School Of Engineering (SOE) of Asia Pacific University into a regional Hub for robotic research in the country. Center will also look into new and innovative techniques in robot design, control and application. Some notable projects we've worked on are Rehabilitation Arm and Telepresence Robots.
