SUMMARY:Small-scale Robots: Miniature but Capable Robots to Revolutionize Healthcare
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nWe are witnessing an exponential growth of the impact of small-scale robotics in recent years. These tiny robots have a characteristic length from several millimetres down to hundreds of nanometers. This extreme miniaturization enables these robots to access constrained space buried deep inside human body\, where conventional devices couldn’t reach\, and thus it dramatically benefits minimally invasive diagnosis and treatment. In particular\, millimeter-scale robots are “small enough” to go inside the natural cavities and ducts of human body\, while at the same time they are “big enough” to conduct relatively complex operations\, such as drug delivery and biopsy. In this seminar\, I will introduce my past and current research projects in small-scale robotics\, and discuss my future research plans. I will talk about the design\, fabrication\, control\, and application of these robots. Furthermore\, I will discuss how this emerging field could have imminent and far-reaching positive impact on modern healthcare. \nBiography of the Speaker:\nDr. Jiachen ZHANG is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Biomedical Engineering\, the City University of Hong Kong since 2021. He graduated with a Ph.D. degree from the University of Toronto in 2018. After graduation\, he worked from 2019-2021 as a Humboldt Research Fellow at Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems\, Germany. His research focuses on the development of millimeter- and micrometer-scale robotic systems for biomedical applications. He utilizes magnetic field as the primary actuation and control signal for multi-functional small-scale robots. He envisions that small-scale robots are ideal candidates to meet the demands posed by modern healthcare in its evolution to minimize invasiveness. \nOrganizer: Prof. Kaibin HUANG \nAll are welcome! We look forward to seeing you!
