内容：

The recent development in information technology has significantly enhanced the scale of robotic technology. In this talk, the research activities in the Robotics and Automation Laboratory at Michigan State University will be presented. The Laboratory carries out sponsored research on robotics and automation. The research activities emphasize on systems modeling and analysis, sensor integration and data fusion, controller design, human and computer interaction, real-time computing architecture and software development. The ultimate goal is to develop theoretical foundations as well as implementation schemes for robotic and automation systems to increase their efficiency, reliability and safety, and to achieve a robust and intelligent system performance. The problems studied involve both theoretical development in new methodologies for planning and control, as well as implementation problems in sensory measurement, computer software development. The applications of the new development in information technology such as computer vision, artificial intelligence, and networks to robotics will be presented. The examples will include manufacturing automation, biomedical applications, as well as micro and nano manufacturing.
