Abstract: The technique of Robotic Nano manipulation extends people’s ability into nano scale, which generates a significant influence to the modern science. It provides new feasible ways to solve the problems that traditional technique cannot achieve. In this talk, we will present the demonstration of nanorobot for its applications in biological study firstly. Then aiming at meeting the new function requisites aroused from the multidiscipline research, we introduce the recent progress of nanorobot in perspective of system integration. The integration here includes two meanings. One is developing technologies based on nanorobot itself, such as more accurate manipulation, fast scanning, molecular recognition and so on. Another meaning is creating new functions through integrating other advanced techniques into nanorobot system, such as planar patch clamp, Scanning Ion Conductance Microscopy, Optical-induced tweezers. Each new integrated technology generates a boarder impact to the applications of nanorobot. The examples show the problems that cannot be investigated with traditional method can be elucidated through the work of nanorobot based integration, which in turn shows nanorobot as system integration leads to an improved significance and scientific value.

Abstract: In this talk, the model predictive control (MPC) of a class of discrete-time switched linear systems with mode-dependent dwell time (MDT) will be addressed. By the invariance of the reachable sets of the feasible region of each subsystem, the minimal admissible MDT is determined so as to guarantee both the persistent feasibility of MPC design and system stability. The conservatism of ignoring the position of the states at the switching instants is discussed by determining the state-dependent admissible MDT. It is shown that the system stability is guaranteed as long as the persistent feasibility is ensured both within the subsystems and at the switching instants. Finally, when the MDT is given, an algorithm is developed for determining the feasible region for the switched systems.

Abstract: There is a growing effort in the scientific community to design and fabricate self-propelled synthetic nanorobots because they have potentials in the field of directed drug delivery, roving sensors, isolation and detection of targets, and active biomimetic systems. Inspired by the nanoscale linear biomotors (e.g. kinesins), our group recently developed chemical-powered synthetic nanorobots which have ability of havesting chemical energy into autonomous motion based on a catalytically chemical reaction. Based on this, different physical stimuli including magnetic fields, near infrared light, ultrasound waves have been employed to propel and tune the motion of synthetic nanorobots.

Abstract: A surface electromyography (sEMG) is the summation of action potentials from the muscle fibers under the electrodes placed on the skin. The more muscles fired, the greater the amount of action potentials recorded and the greater the sEMG reading. sEMG signals have a variety of clinical and biomedical applications, for examples, detecting medical abnormalities, activation level, or recruitment order, analyzing the biomechanics of human movement. sEMG signals also have widely potential used as intelligent control interface for assistive robotic system, including rehabilitation robotic system and prosthetic devices, such as prosthetic hands, arms, and lower limbs. However, there are significant uncertainties of sEMG signals of different subjects, which restrict extensive applications in the assistive field seriously. In this presentation, we are going to introduce some common problem of sEMG signal processing and some of our unique research results dealing with the uncertainties, including the false tolerant decoding method, estimation method of continuous motion, user-independent recognition of hand gesture. Several examples of sEMG-controlled robotic system will be given.

人体表面提供了丰富的生物电信息,可以反映人体某些方面的状态。表面肌电(sEMG)信号是肌肉收缩在人体表面采集到的电信号,可表征神经通路的状况,对于神经系统疾病诊断、手术术中神经监护、及人体运动功能分析具有重大意义。同时,sEMG还被广泛用作智能机器人的人机交互控制接口,对于安装假肢、假手残疾人的康复具有重要意义。但是,sEMG信号本身具有很强的不确定性,不同人的表面肌电不同,相同人的表面肌电也会发生变化,限制了其在康复领域的应用。报告将针对上述问题介绍我们在提高sEMG实用性、鲁棒性、通用性方面的研究成果。期望能有助于推动sEMG在康复领域中的推广应用。

Abstract: The atomic force microscope (AFM) has gave nanotechnology a significant boost by providing it with a powerful tool for understanding physical and chemical phenomena from the nanoscale to atomic scale, as well as for performing engineering operations on nanoscale objects, molecules and atoms. A flexible robotic system developed for multi-scale manipulation and assembly from nanoscale to microscale is presented. This system is based on the principle of atomic force microscopy and comprises two individually functionalized cantilevers, to build a nanotweezer. Benefiting from capabilities of image scanning and accurate force sensing, the nanotweezer is capable of positioning one-dimensional nanostructures deposited on a surface, and then performing in situ peeling tests with pick-and-place operations at different peeling locations of interest along a selected nanostructure. As applications of the ducal probe nanotweezer, we will introduce the dual-probe caliper for critical dimension (CD) metrology, pick-and-place manipulation of a single living cell in an aqueous environment for in-situ qualification of cell adhesion and a three-dimensional atomic force microscope (3DAFM) for imaging of the micro and nanoscale sidewall structures with controllable scanning density.

Abstract: All kinds of mobile robot systems (MRS) have been widely used in many applications, such as aiding disaster recovery efforts in mines and after earthquakes/tsunami, scientific explore, environmental monitoring, etc. However, the complicated environments introduce some dynamical factors and huge uncertainties, which often make the mobile robot difficult to work as desired without or with as little as possible human’s intervention. Thus, autonomy has been an open problem in the fields of mobile robotics since early 21st century. In this talk, the key techniques and some researches involved in autonomy of mobile robots while maneuvering on out-door, unstructured, and dynamic terrain are introduced. The main concerns of this talk include 3D real time environment modeling, online situational awareness and constraint generation, real time behavior optimization under multiple environmental constraints, and coordination and cooperation of cross-domain multiple robots. Besides, some application oriented experimental results will also be presented to show the validity of these methods/techniques for different mobile robots, including UAV, UGV and USV.

目前,各种各样的移动机器人已经获得了越来越多的关注,并且在灾难救援、科学考察、环境监控等领域已经逐步实现了常态化应用。但是,当移动机器人在野外复杂环境中执行使命时,复杂环境带来的动态性因素以及各种不确定因素将严重影响机器人自动完成使命的能力,即移动机器人的自主行为能力。关于自主行为能力的研究是目前移动机器人领域研究的一个重点和热点问题。本报告将从环境建模、约束产生、行为优化、多机器人跨域协作等方面介绍中科院沈阳自动化研究所机器人学国家重点实验室在移动机器人自主行为方面所取得的一些研究成果,并将展示这些理论、方法成果在实际平台上的应用及其对移动机器人自主行为能力的提升作用。
