Subject: Interested in pursuing graduate research in teleoperation
and HRI

Dear Prof. XYZ,

I have recently finished a 4-year Bachelor's degree in Electronic

Engineering. During my BEng degree I worked on a number of robotic
projects, including a tele-operated 3-DOF robotic arm for
automobile part painting (funded by industry) and also have a
research paper on this project. I have also designed an object
placing and color detection mobile robot and an electronic
wheelchair (funded by a local welfare foundation) alongside a few
other projects.

I reached your lab's page, while going through the best engineering
university KAIST's website. I have read your publications; how you
used touch pattern recognition technique for human robot
interaction and also read your paper on awareness of surgical
procedure to make the surgical robots work like human assistant. I
have developed an appreciation for the various research questions
and design issues that encompass robot design. Along the way, I had
to learn by myself a number of new tools such as Finite Element
Analysis (FEA) of mechanical designs, calculations of torque of
motors to actuate joints of the arm, forward and inverse
kinematics, and SolidWorks for CAD/CAM; and I would love to get a
proper graduate level instruction in these techniques under your
supervision. Apart from my interest in designing robotic arms (and
the inverse in some sense i.e. doing haptics), I would also be very
interested in researching how such robots interact with humans in
cooperative scenarios. For example, one project that is in my mind
is to use such a high-DOF robotic arm to play a cooperative game
using Lego bricks with a human (step-by-step) completely
autonomously, or use such a hand in building small objects using
tools such as screw drivers (human assists in task which the robot
cannot handle and so on).

I am very interested in pursuing an MS leading to PhD, under your

supervision. Can you please tell me if there are any open
scholarships available for the same?

I came across your webpage, because I had read your paper "Stable
Teleoperation With Time-Domain Passivity Control" in IEEE Trans. on
Robotics and Automation (2004) as an open-assignment for my
Bachelor's coursework in control systems (namely "Amplifiers and
Oscillators" and later "Linear Control Systems"). I am very
interested in the work you are doing in control system design to
regularize haptic input for tele-operation, specially w.r.t. its
applications in tele-surgery.
I am very interested in pursuing an MS leading to PhD specializing
in control aspects of robot design, under your supervision. Can you
please tell me if there are any open scholarships available for the
same? Detailed information about my projects including an up-to-
date CV is available at the following:
