Speech Title: Intelligent operation and skill learning of robots
Abstract: The dynamical tasks in the unstructured environment put forward higher requirements for the intelligence of robot operation. Robot operation based on autonomous learning technology can effectively improve the robustness and generalization of these tasks. This report focuses on the two research fields of autonomous reinforcement learning and human-machine cooperation, and discusses the advantages of using deep reinforcement learning from the perspective of human-machine hybrid intelligent fusion. Moreover, this report introduces the existing work of the reporter’s research group on the tasks of single robot operation, multi robot cooperative operation and human-robot cooperative operation, and finally analyzes the current technical challenges and makes prospects for its future research trend.

Speech Title: High Speed and Agile Soft Mobile Robots
Abstract: Soft robots show excellent body compliance, adaptability, and mobility when cope with unstructured environments and human-robot interactions due to the softness of their constituent materials and structures. However, the intrinsic low stiffness and damping effect of the soft materials also limit their moving speed and efficiency which are far from conventional rigid robots. Most of the reported soft mobile robots have a low speed just as their bionic objects (slow moving mollusks like caterpillar, earthworm, etc.). In this talk, I am going to talk about our recently work on the dynamic actuation and control of two kinds of soft actuators (soft pneumatic actuators and soft electromagnetic actuators) and the development of high speed and agile soft mobile robots based on them.
