Tentative title:
Rise of the medical microrobotic systems: sensing, actuation, and control
Abstract:
In recent years there were a rapid advancement in microrobotic systems for medical applications. Developments in human scale electromagnetic systems for actuation in one hand, and advancements on magnetic particle imaging (MPI), fast MRI, and X-ray monitoring systems on the other, lead to a more practical control for medical microrobots. However, swarm control of microrobots under a global actuation imposes a saviour limitation in their application. In this talk I will present the algorithms and possible approaches to control microrobots in swarm.
Biography:
Ali Kafash Hoshiar received his Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from the Tehran Science and Research University, in 2014. From 2015 to 2019, he worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher in GNU (S. Korea), DGIST-ETH (S. Korea), and University of Leeds (UK). Currently, he is a lecturer in University of Essex working on medical small-scale robots. His current research interests includes medical Micro/Nanorobots, electromagnetic actuation systems, magnetic particle imaging (MPI) systems, swarm microrobotics, and soft continuum microrobots.
