High
Speed Three Dimensional Imaging Using Optical Interferometry |
| Name
|
Prof. Seung-Woo Kim |
| Affiliation |
KAIST, Korea |
| Abstract |
Automation requires three-dimensional (3-D)
imaging for various purposes such as autonomous objects recognition,
navigation, and inspection. In response to the demands, diverse
3-D imaging principles have been investigated during last
two decades and, as results, many noble techniques are nowadays
available with distinct advantages and drawbacks. The optical
interferometry is one of the 3-D imaging principles, which
has made a remarkable advance and still has great potential
for further improvements. In this talk, a historical perspective
of the development of the optical interferometry for 3-D imaging
is presented. In addition, detailed opto-mechatronic principles
are explained about various techniques of optical interferometry
together with outstanding industrial applications. |

Micro and Nano Robotics for Biotechnology |
| Name
|
Prof. Fumihito Arai |
| Affiliation |
Nagoya Univ., Japan |
| Abstract |
Several robotic technologies, such
as manipulation of microscopic objects, sensing and actuation
elements, for Biotechnology will be introduced. At first,
manipulation methods of microscopic objects in liquid are
classified and briefly reviewed. Mechanical manipulation,
non-contact manipulation using laser trap or dielectrophoresis,
and self-assembly of the microscopic objects are introduced.
Advantages of the non-contact micromanipulation are shown
for BioMEMS applications. Finally I will introduce the application
example of these methods to the selective separation of the
microorganisms or cells with the micro-chip fabrication technology. |

Applied
Predictive Control |
| Name
|
Prof. Tong Heng Lee |
| Affiliation |
National Univ. of Singapore, Singapore |
|
Abstract |
The presence of considerable time-delays in
the dynamics of many industrial processes, leading to difficult
problems in the associated closed-loop control systems, is
a well-recognized phenomenon. The performance achievable in
conventional feedback control systems can be significantly
degraded if an industrial process has a relatively large time-delay
compared with the dominant time constant. Under these circumstances,
advanced predictive control is necessary to improve the performance
of the control system significantly. This talk will present
a focused development on this subject, including the fundamentals
and some state-of-the-art developments in the field of predictive
control. Three main schemes for advanced predictive control
are addressed in the talk:
* Smith Predictive Control,
* Generalized Predictive Control,
* A novel form of predictive control based on Finite Spectrum
Assignment.
A substantial part of the talk will address applications issues
in predictive control, and provide several interesting case
studies. |

Simulation
and Dynamic Programming Based Framework for Scheduling and
Control of Complex Uncertain Systems |
| Name
|
Prof. Jay H. Lee |
| Affiliation |
Georgia Institute of Technology, USA |
| Abstract |
In this talk, I will present a framework
for combining simulation data and dynamic programming to identify
the 'cost-to-go' function, which can be used for efficient
on-line decision making. We argue that the framework is attractive
for planning, scheduling and control applications involving
complex uncertain systems. Several theoretical and computational
issues are brought forward within this framework. They include
issues such as choice of approximator (neural network vs.
local regression), improvement of a cost-to-go approximation
through value or policy iteration, safeguarding against over-extrapolation
by defining "risk", and guarded exploration in order
to expand the domain of approximation in a gradual manner.
I will also present the results of some initial applications
in several scheduling and control problems. |
