motor and motion-control lab

At m&m lab, we are interested in electric machines, maglev drives and robotics.

Lab members are encouraged to design and build things with the principal investigator (PI), covering electronic design, electromagnetic design, mechanical design, and observer/controller design.

Our vision is that if we can build it, then others should be able to build it (check out Github).
