报告摘要：
In general, today’s robots face four kinds of major challenges. Firstly, they have to deal with uncertainty within the systems, such as sensor noise, actuator inaccuracy, and components failure. Secondly, they have to handle huge uncertainties in the real world, which is dynamically changing over time. Thirdly, they have to learn something new from their daily operations for adaptation to new environments and new tasks. Finally, they should have an intuitive way to interact with general public for successful deployment in our society. Inspired from nature, robotics researchers are currently working on an evolutionary transformation from biosystems to intelligent robots. As a result, these robots are autonomous, interactive and intelligent, which are benefited from bio-principles, bio-processes and bio-mechanisms in nature. In this talk, I will briefly overview the current state of art robotics technologies, and present some research work toward the development of advanced biologically inspired robots. More specifically, biosystem modelling, service robots, smart wheelchairs and swarm robotics are discussed respectively, and some preliminary results are demonstrated via video.
