About

National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU) stands as one of Taiwan's premier research institutions, distinguished by a remarkably broad and interdisciplinary research portfolio that spans robotics, artificial intelligence, biomedical engineering, computer vision, and minimally invasive surgical systems. Formed through the merger of two elite universities, NYCU has cultivated a research culture that bridges fundamental engineering theory with real-world clinical and industrial applications. The institution's contributions to robotics are both foundational and far-reaching. Its 1983 work on cubic polynomial joint trajectory optimization for industrial robots remains a landmark reference, accumulating nearly 500 citations and shaping decades of path-planning methodology. Subsequent breakthroughs in mobile robot tracking control, human-following behavior, and safety intelligence for human-robot coexistence reflect a sustained commitment to advancing autonomous systems. Researchers have also made significant strides in semantic segmentation for real-time robotic perception, emotional expression generation for social robots, and speech-controlled surgical systems — demonstrating fluency across the full spectrum of embodied AI. NYCU's integration of robotics with surgical medicine is particularly noteworthy. Faculty and affiliated clinicians have pioneered robotic gastrectomy, pancreaticoduodenectomy, nipple-sparing mastectomy, and minimally invasive pancreas resection, producing internationally adopted clinical guidelines and influencing surgical practice globally. The university's work on stereo vision hardware architectures further underscores its strength in translating algorithmic innovation into deployable systems. With deep expertise in VLSI design for robot control, flexible electronics, and deep learning for financial and visual data, NYCU offers prospective students and collaborators a uniquely multidisciplinary environment where cutting-edge engineering meets transformative medical and societal impact.
