About
The Mechatronics and Controls Laboratory (Maclab) is a diverse group of individuals with a primary focus on servo control with applications in precision machining, engine control, and nanopositioning. The laboratory is led by Prof. Tsu-Chin Tsao and unites an enthusiastic and qualified group of graduate and undergraduate students. Our research team is a key member of the vibrant and interdisciplinary UCLA Center for Systems, Dynamics, and Control. See more at the Maclab YouTube channel.Recent Posts
- Visit from Prof. Yu-Hsiu (Martin) Lee and Students
We were delighted to welcome back Prof. Yu-Hsiu (Martin), a former member of MacLab, who visited us recently together with two of his students. During their visit, Prof. Yu-Hsiu and… Read more: Visit from Prof. Yu-Hsiu (Martin) Lee and Students - An MR-Compatible Motion Stage for Respiratory Motion Emulation
A collaboration between Maclab and Radiological Sciences, the MR Robot is a hydrostatically actuated robotic system for real-time MRI-guided interventions. Real-time image visualization and guidance are crucial for minimally invasive… Read more: An MR-Compatible Motion Stage for Respiratory Motion Emulation - Airborne Manipulator with Twisting and Tilting Rotors for Omnidirectional Thrust Vectoring
In this project, we introduce a flying vehicle that overcomes the inherent maneuverability limitations of traditional multirotors. Full directional authority is enabled on each individual thrust vector by introducing two… Read more: Airborne Manipulator with Twisting and Tilting Rotors for Omnidirectional Thrust Vectoring
