报告简介：

This talk describes the basic research in the new area of bioinspired soft robotics, with an emphasis on modeling and control. The developments in soft robotic research incorporate smart materials, flexible electronics, and 3D printing to emulate both the physical flexibility and the versatility of animals such as fish, caterpillars, snakes, and worms. Potential applications include tissue engineering and biology; control engineering; additive manufacturing; biomedical engineering; medical devices. This talk is intended to discuss modeling and control of the recently popular dielectric elastomer enabled soft robots, showing the status of the art of the current research for modeling and control of smart-material based soft robots.

Dr. Chun-Yi Su received his Ph.D. in Control Engineering from the South China University of Technology in 1990. After a seven-year appointment at the University of Victoria, he joined Concordia University in 1998, where he is currently a Professor and Honorary Concordia University Research Chair. His research focuses on control theory and its applications to mechanical systems, with recent emphasis on modeling and control of soft robotic systems. He has authored or co-authored over 500 publications in journals, book chapters, and conference proceedings.

Dr. Su has served as an Associate Editor for several leading journals, including IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology, and IEEE Transactions on Cybernetics. He is also a Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society. In addition, he has contributed to numerous conferences as an organizing committee member, including roles as General Chair and Program Chair.
