Title: Towards Specialised Robotic Systems in Challenging Environments
Speaker: Assoc. Prof. Mingfeng Wang (Brunel University London, UK)
Time: April 11, 17:15-18:15
Venue: D1-b110, Guangzhou International Campus
[Abstract]
As robotics technology is becoming more and more functionally capable and economically viable, robots are playing significant and powerful roles in accessing environments, that are too labour-intensive, too difficult, or even too dangerous for human operation. Due to the limitations in these challenging environments, the traditional robots are not suitable for direct deployment, thus specialised robotic systems are urgently needed to tackle these challenges. In this talk, four state-to-art case studies are presented including the continuum robot for in-situ aeroengine repair (FLARE), the hexapod robot for nuclear facility decommissioning/repair (RAIN-Hex), and the laser-weeding robot for organic farming (HyperWeeding).
