Seminar: Challenging Construction Technology with Architectural Robots, Roberto Naboni, Associate Professor, University of Southern Denmark (SDU)
Abstract: Architectural robots enable the re-thinking of material systems and a disruptive update of the building process. The lecture will discuss design and construction experiments conducted with/by robots at SDU CREATE and how these unfold a new approach to construction technology. Bio: Roberto Naboni, is an Associate Professor in Computational Design and Digital Fabrication at…

Seminar: Enabling Mobile In vivo Robotic Surgery: from Micro-Patterned Materials to Autonomous, Dr Mark Rentschler, University of Colorado
Abstract: There is a need for surgical tools and devices to migrate from manual operation and remote-control, to more automated processes that can provide additional information and insight to the physician without an undue operational burden. This talk will focus on key aspects for enabling these mobile in vivo devices including studies of tissue mechanics,…
Robotics at Leeds PGR Network Conference
The themes for the day are as follows with a keynote speaker for each: – Artificial Intelligence / Robot Manipulation – Medical Robotics – Field Robotics – General Robotics We will also have invited speakers from other UK universities: Imperial College London, University of Lincoln and others to be confirmed ! Call for Abstracts —…
Seminar: Bionic Reconstruction, Aidan Roche MBBS PhD BEng MRCS(Ed), University of Sheffield
Abstract: Limb loss or nerve injuries to the upper limb are challenging engineering and medical problems to solve. Over the past 7 decades progress has been gradual as individual groups have tackled specific aspects of the overall problem. Recently, rehabilitation doctors, surgeons and engineers have begun working more closely together and have accelerated the use…
Meet Robotics at Leeds at Bradford Science Festival!
Come along and find out what the team at Robotics at Leeds have been working on. Discover how are we helping make medical procedures less painful, have a go at controlling a robotic arm, and watch a robot band play live. Why not come along and talk to the roboticists who are making all of…
Seminar: Biomimetic Medical Robotics, Zheng Li, Chinese University of Hong Kong
Abstract: Medical robots, represented by the da Vinci surgical system, has been increasingly used in the operating theatres. With the help of medical robots, clinicians could access deeper, treat smaller lesion and operate more dexterously. In developing the medical robot, the mechanism behind is fundamental. It determines how the robot moves and whether it could…
Seminar: Design, Modeling and Control of a Biologically-Inspired Bat Robot; Prof. Seth Hutchinson, GeorgiaTech
Abstract: In this talk, I will describe our recent progress building a biologically-inspired bat robot. Bats have a complex skeletal morphology, with both ball-and-socket and revolute joints that interconnect the bones and muscles to create a musculoskeletal system with over 40 degrees of freedom, some of which are passive. Replicating this biological system in a…
Seminar: Autonomous vehicles: Path planning and control, Prof. Luca Bascetta, Politecnico di Milano
Abstract: The popularity of the research on wheeled mobile robots has been recently increasing, due to their possible use in different outdoor environments. Planetary explorations, search and rescue missions in hazardous areas, surveillance, humanitarian de-mining, drive-less mobility, as well as agriculture works represent possible applications for autonomous vehicles in natural and urban environments. Differently from…
Seminar: Micro-Scale Robots: Using Magnetic Fields for Remote Motion, Grasping and Formation, Dr. Eric Diller, Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto
Abstract: Micro-scale mobile robots can physically access small spaces in a versatile and non-invasive manner. Such microrobots under several mm in size have potential unique applications for object manipulation, local sensing and cargo delivery in healthcare, microfluidics and advanced materials fabrication. These devices are powered and controlled remotely using externally-applied magnetic fields for motion in…
Seminar: Do we need robotic systems or more affordable devices to improve minimally invasive interventions?, Prof. Jenny Dankelman, TU Delft
Abstract: Imagine that it would be possible to treat any patient in an early phase of a disease at any location in the body using tiny instruments that cause limited trauma to healthy tissue. Our challenge is to develop a new generation of devices with highly advanced functionality at the tip. Examples of devices we…
Seminar: Surviving in an uncertain world with slow communication pathways, Dr Thrishantha Nanayakkara, Imperial College
Abstract: Telecommunication community can benefit from some findings in neuroscience and robotics. The neuroscience community has long been trying to understand how the central nervous system is managing the concurrent control of the whole body with many degrees of freedom to survive in situations that needs fast responses, but with slow communication pathways. The robotics…
