内容简介：

Robotics is one of the most promising research areas in pushing cutting-edge technologies for future automated society. Robots have been widely used in manufacturing, automobile, food and many other industrial areas with space and underwater explorations and prospective applications on healthcare, surgery and as human companions in daily life. To conduct those applications, mechanisms as the robot frame determine the basic function and performance of the robots and as well as the requirements of their control and sensing. In this talk, some work on fundamental mechanism theories including type synthesis, kinematics analysis, and dynamics modeling of a class of new reconfigurable parallel robotic mechanisms will be presented. Following that, some application-oriented projects on automatic manufacturing, compliant robotics, and unmanned aerial vehicles will be introduced based on the activities at Khalifa University Center for Autonomous Robotics Systems.
