The Integrated Dynamics & Control Engineering Laboratory (IDCEL) led by Professor Keum-Shik Hong at Pusan National University (PNU) has been working on various research projects related to material handling technologies and biomedical engineering. The IDCEL was designated as a National Research Laboratory (NRL) by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (MEST), Korea, in 2003. The development of unmanned autonomous vehicles, automated super-size container cranes, and a mobile harbor is a part of the grand project of establishing Busan as a maritime logistic hub-port in Northeast Asia. In biomedical engineering, the development of a real-time multi-modality imaging technology has been a focus. This research is supported by the World Class University (WCU) Program funded by the MEST, Korea. To overcome the research challenges, a wide range of disciplines have been involved including control theory, signal and image processing, multi-agent systems, and brain engineering.
