报告摘要：Bio-inspired technology looks for inspiration from the biology world and applies them to engineering systems, trying to catch up or even surpass biological performances. The early and most successful examples include airplane, radar, Velcro tape, waterproof fabric, ant colony algorithm, artificial neural network, reinforcement learning, among others. Those inventions have changed the way we live, and no doubt have made our lives much better. Biology can offer us inspiration to solve the problems we encounter on our planet.

In this seminar, I will first review bio-inspired technologies. I will explain the principles underlying the phenomena we see in the biology world. I will introduce the problems in the biology world and try my best to guide you to think about the world we live in.

In the meantime, I will also introduce some of the recent work my lab (the Bio-inspired Mechatronics Lab) is doing, i.e., robotic fish. We seek inspiration from the natural world, rethink the underlying principles, and apply those principles to engineering systems to obtain performances that have never been achieved before. With robotic fish, we apply a neural network to model the system dynamics and apply reinforcement learning to enable target position and pose seeking, with any random initial position and disturbances. It is validated by experiments that the robotic fish can achieve predefined goals without human intervention. The neural network can be used to fit and obtain the system dynamics robustly.

报告人简介：Dr. Mingyi Liu received his B.S. degree from Nanchang University of Aeronautics and Astronautics in 2011; M.S. degree in Precision Instrumentation from Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics in 2014; and Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering from Virginia Tech in 2020, where he researched Biomechanical Energy Harvesting under the supervision of Prof. Lei Zuo and Prof. Robin Queen. After two years of postdoctoral research at Virginia Tech, Dr. Mingyi Liu joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering at GTIIT in March 2022 as an Associate Professor.
