Design & Electronic Convergence System

Design & Electronic Convergence System Lab creates novel sensing and interface technologies that foster powerful and delightful interactions between humans and machines. This research often lies in emerging use modalities, such as touch/gestural interaction, voice interaction, and emotional interaction. These technologies are applied and deployed to personal mobilities, future vehicles or social robots. Students can consider design factors and learn a wide range of electronic engineering skills necessary for product development. Any function required for the product can be developed with the optimum utilization of electrical or electronic elements.
