Back to all newsTwo student teams from the lab received Honourable Mentions (佳作) at the College of Engineering Undergraduate Research Project Competition (專題研究成果競賽), with projects on an underwater bio-inspired stingray vehicle and a maple-seed-inspired unmanned aerial vehicle.
Two undergraduate teams from the laboratory shared First Place in the Engineering Technology category at the National University System of Taiwan (NUST, 臺灣國立大學系統) Scientific Paper Competition (科技論文競賽), with projects inspired by stingrays and maple seeds. A postgraduate team also received an Honorable Mention Award (佳作) for its dragonfly-inspired drone research.
Under the guidance of Dr Lan, a team of three undergraduate students received the Infinite Potential Award (潛力無限獎) at the 2025 Innovation Arena (興創競技場), organised by the Startup @NCHU Innovation Center. The team developed a biomimetic rotary-wing unmanned aerial vehicle inspired by natural flight mechanisms, highlighting the practical potential of university-driven innovation and applied research.
Dr Lan and his team published a study in Drones introducing a neural network approach for estimating transient aerodynamic properties in flapping wing systems. The research supports faster and more efficient analysis of flapping flight dynamics.
