MEEM Seminar 0708_026

Bio-Inspired Intelligent Systems and Applications to Robotics and Control Systems

Abstract

Studies of biological neural systems have made significant progress in both understanding biological systems and applying in various engineering systems. In this talk, I will start with a very brief introduction to intelligent systems, including biological neural networks, and bio-inspired neural networks. Then, several applications of advanced intelligent systems to biological systems and biologically inspired systems will be briefly presented. After that, I will focus on my current research on real-time intelligent sensing, planning, tracking, control, teleoperation, and human-robot interaction in various robotic systems.
