AIRS in the AIR | 先端机器人学3：双臂协同灵巧操作

先端机器人学系列前两期分别围绕“双足行走的控制和规划”和“从人体动作分析到人形机器人动力学”展开，本系列第三期邀请到两位来自名校的青年学者围绕“双臂协同灵巧操作”分别分享感知和操控颗粒材料的自主挖掘机，以及对可变形物体的操控的相关研究。

第一位嘉宾Jia Pan是香港大学计算机科学系副教授，他的研究兴趣是机器人控制和学习，在机器人自主导航和操作系统领域深耕多年，成果斐然。

第二位嘉宾Jihong Zhu是英国约克大学助理教授，他还担任IROS、ICRA和RAL的副编辑，他的研究兴趣是应用于机器人操作的基于视觉的控制和模仿学习。

    Autonomous Excavation: Manipulation and Perception of Granular Materials

    Jia Pan is currently an associate professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Hong Kong. He received his BEng in Control Engineering from Tsinghua University, MEng in Pattern Recognition from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. His research interests are robotic control and learning with a special focus on the development of autonomous robotic systems for navigation and manipulation.

    Autonomous excavators are an essential part of the goal of “building the robots that build the world”. One unique problem in autonomous excavation is how to deal with the granular materials like soils and sands, which is seldom studied in robotics. In this talk, we will present our recent work about how to achieve efficient manipulation of soils by optimizing the trajectory of the excavator’s bucket, and how to enable the excavator to be aware of the objects buried in the soils by using a proximity sensing mechanism based on jamming in granular materials.

    Deformable Object Manipulation: Fundamental Challenges and Promising Applications

    Zhu is a lecturer in robotics at the School of Physics, Engineering and Technology, University of York. He was a postdoctoral researcher jointly at Cognitive Robotics, TU Delft and Honda Research Institute, Europe working on assistive robots. He obtained his PhD from the University of Montpellier supported by the H2020 VERSATILE project. He is presently an Associate Editor for IROS, ICRA, and IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters. His main interest is vision-based control and imitation learning applied to robotic manipulation.

    What makes the manipulation of deformable objects difficult? In this talk, I will discuss some fundamental challenges introduced by object deformation and ways to tackle these challenges in my research. I will also present some of the promising applications of deformable object manipulation in both industrial and domestic settings.
