英国林肯大学的Dr. John Murray在我们组进行大约两个月的访问交流，他将于1月15日 周二上午9:00在东主楼9区115做学术报告。欢迎参加！
Topic:
Replicating self robots: The use of 3D printing technologies for search and rescue robotics.
Abstract:
Most disaster recovery and aerial search and rescue in the UK is predominately performed by Police or RAF helicopters, as such these are slow to respond and very expensive; as such numbers are limited. Getting these helicopters to disaster sites can take a long time. In this presentation I will talk about the development of mini and micro Robotic UAVs that are being developed at the University of Lincoln, UK to aid with search and rescue operations. We aim to develop small and disposable quadcopters for the purpose of search and rescue and large scale mapping operations. As such with the development of rapid prototyping systems, we are developing UAVs using 3D printing techniques. These quadcopters are fitted with flight control and communication systems to allow swarm communication between air and ground stations, allowing for intelligent control and movement.
This presentation will focus on the printing techniques for this various styles of copter and will show early development, control, and how the latest cameras and technologies can be used to allow tracking and monitoring of danger regions. Bio: Dr John Murray is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Computer Science at the University of Lincoln, UK and Computer Science Programme leader. Dr. Murray joined the University of Lincoln in 2009 from the University of Hertfordshire where he worked as Research Fellow on the EU Funded project FEELIX-Growing project; working with Robotics and Emotional interactions. Dr. Murray completed his PhD in 2006 from the University of Sunderland in Neuroscience and Robotics, developing auditory circuits for Robotic Audition based on the mammalian Auditory Cortex. He completed his undergraduate degree in Software Engineering in 2002 from Aberystwyth University, Wales. Dr. Murray’s research interests include Human Robot Interaction and social communication. Dr. Murray’s research interests include all things Robotics, recently developing robotic systems for numerous applications including Aerial Surveillance, Human Robot Interaction, Animal Behaviour studies and Ecology.
