Plenary Lecture I

 

From Sensorimotor Skills to Cognitive Technical Systems - an Incremental Learning Approach

 

Jianwei Zhang

Professor and Director,

Institute of Technical Aspects of Multimodal Systems (TAMS)

Department of Informatics, University of Hamburg, Germany

 

Abstract: Recently, new applications of intelligent systems like service robots and cognitive automobiles have been emerging. The success of these new applications will mainly lie in their ability to incrementally learn through interaction with their environment and with humans. Advances have been made both in interacting with the environment through the development of elementary sensorimotor skills as well as in human-machine interaction via improved social skills. In this talk, I will first give an overview of the hierarchy of robot skills and the important human-machine interaction modalities. Then I will introduce the incremental-learning approaches to developing self-valued, multisensor-based robot skills. Interactive-assembly experiments in which a robot is instructed using natural language, gesture and gaze information will also be discussed. Finally, I will summarize the future research topics such as context-awareness, ambient sensing, autonomous credit-assignment, cognitive architecture and cross-modal integration.

Nanotechnology has been much promoted during the last few years. While the universal goal of this development, like any others, is the capability enrichment of human beings, nanotechnology is the pathway to understand and explore material and living systems at molecular levels. This could be only possible by matching both top down (miniaturisation) and bottom up (auto-organisation) approaches which is highly interdisciplinary. One of the challenges is to develop new methods and new instruments for chemical and biological processing at micro and nano-scales. Microfluidic devices are such emerging systems which can be manufactured at low cost and high throughput, with the manner of the production of microelectronic circuits.
During the past few years, many efforts have been devoted to the demonstration of microfluidic device capabilities of doing the same works as can be done using desktop equipments. It is known that new phenomena and un-known physicochemical properties can be observed if the dimension of the integrated features is reduced to a nano-meter scale. From this point of view, it is more interesting to explore new potentialities offered by micro and nanostructures patterning techniques. In all cases, microfluidic principles have to be applied as soon as possible to the advanced research topics in biochemistry, in biology and in biomedical research areas. By doing so, we enjoy a number of interdisciplinary studies that also have great industrial interests.
In this talk, we will review our approaches based on low cost and high throughput nanofabrication technologies. We will show how microfluidic chips can be used to create new functionalities for single cell and single molecule analyses and how fundamental physics knowledge can be applied to biochemical and biological processing. Our long term research strategy will be also discussed concerning bio-nano-info-cognitive (BNIC) convergence recently developed in both ENS and LPN laboratories.

CAD and CAM systems have been widely used in industry all over the world. The emerging micro and nano CAD/CAM systems are still in the incipient stages of scientific research and development. However, the developing speed of these systems are quite high, especially in micro and nano engineering field.

There are two basic important issues featuring the micro and nano CAD/CAM systems. The one is that new concepts and new principles are adopted in these systems. The other is the interdisciplinary fusion. So the clever and well trained scientists and researchers are facing great chances and challenges.

In this research, a femto second laser based micro and nano CAD/CAM system is introduced. The two photon exciting non-linear effect, Ti-sapphire fs laser, the confocal microscope, 3D scanner and the design/manufacturing software are presented. The main advantages of this system are discussed. Some functional micro devices such as micro gears, 3D photonic crystals, micro lens array are demonstrated by our micro CAD/CAM platform. Several important aspects such as the fabricating resolution, scanning parameters and the performance of the devices are evaluated theoretically and experimentally.
