Robotic Biomanipulation: Technologies and Applications

ABSTRACT

Robotic biomanipulation represents a new categoryof enabling technologies for manipulating and characterizing biological substances (cells and organisms) and their internal structures, which have provided new tools for biological research and medical studies. With an overarching theme of roboticbiomanipulation for biology and medicine, our team has invited a series robotic micromanipulation techniques, and developed advanced robotic systems to realize a variety of novel applications. This talk will summarize our recent progress along this line, and also outlook the future trends of the field.

机器人生物操控是一类用于操控与表征生物物质（细胞及生物体）及其内部结构的新型使能技术，为生物学研究与医学研究提供了全新工具。本团队围绕面向生物与医学的机器人生物操控这一核心主题，引入了一系列机器人微操控技术，并研发了先进机器人系统以实现多项创新应用。本次报告将总结我们在该方向上的最新研究进展，并展望该领域未来发展趋势。

BIOGRAPHY

Xinyu Liu isthe Percy Edward Hart Professor of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at the University of Toronto (U of T). Prior to joining U of T, he was an Associate Professor and the Canada Research Chair in Microfluidics and BioMEMS in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at McGill University. At U of T, his research activities primarily focus micro/nano robotics and soft robotics. He received many inter nationaland nationalresearch awards, including 10 best paper awards at major engineering and biomedical conferences. He serves as the Corresponding Chair of the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society Technical Committee for Micro and Nano Robotics and Automation, a Senior Editor of IEEE Trans. Automation Science and Engineering and IEEE Robotics & Automation Letters, an Editor of Microsystems & Nanoengineering, and an Advisory Editor of Research. He is a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Engineering, an Elected Member of the European Academy of Sciences and Arts, and a Fellow of the Engineering Institute of Canada (EIC), the American Society of Mechanical Engineering (ASME), and the Canadian Society for Mechanical Engineering (CSME).
