  The Era of Human-Robot Collaboration

  Bio

  Abstract

  Robotics is undergoing a major transformation in scope and dimension with accelerating impact on the economy, production, and culture of our global society. The generations of robots now being developed will increasingly touch people and their lives. They will explore, work, and interact with humans in their homes, workplaces, in new production systems, and in challenging field domains. The emerging robots will provide increased support in mining, underwater, hostile environments, as well as in domestic, health, industry, and service applications. Combining the experience and cognitive abilities of the human with the strength, dependability, reach, and endurance of robots will fuel a wide range of new robotic applications. The discussion focuses on design concepts, control architectures, task primitives and strategies that bring human modeling and skill understanding to the development of this new generation of collaborative robots.

  Hypermodels for Exploration

  Bio

  Abstract

  We study the use of hypermodels to represent epistemic uncertainty and guide exploration. This generalizes and extends the use of ensembles to approximate Thompson sampling. The computational cost of training an ensemble grows with its size, and as such, prior work has typically been limited to ensembles with tens of elements. We show that alternative hypermodels can enjoy dramatic efficiency gains, enabling behavior that would otherwise require hundreds or thousands of elements, and even succeed in situations where ensemble methods fail to learn regardless of size. This allows more accurate approximation of Thompson sampling as well as use of more sophisticated exploration schemes. In particular, we consider an approximate form of information-directed sampling and demonstrate performance gains relative to Thompson sampling. As alternatives to ensembles, we consider linear and neural network hypermodels, also known as hypernetworks. We prove that, with neural network base models, a linear hypermodel can represent essentially any distribution over functions, and as such, hypernetworks are no more expressive.

  Deep Learning for Algorithm Design

  Bio

  Abstract

  Algorithms are step-by-step instructions designed by human experts to solve a problem. Effective algorithms play central roles in modern computing, and have impacted many industrial applications, such as recommendation and advertisement in internet, resource allocation in cloud computing, robot and route planning, disease understanding and drug design.  

  However, designing effective algorithms is a time-consuming and difficult task. It often requires lots of intuition and expertise to tailor algorithmic choices in particular applications. Furthermore, when complex application data are involved, it becomes even more challenging for human experts to reason about algorithm behavior.  

  Can we use deep learning and AI to help algorithm design? There have been a number of recent advancements that have allowed algorithms to designed from specific algorithmic families automatically using data, often leading to either state-of-the-art empirical performance or provable performance guarantees on observed instance distributions. In this talk, I will provide an introduction to this area, and explain a few pieces of work along this direction.

  医用微纳机械人：妄想、现实和挑战

  Bio

  Abstract

  People have envisioned tiny machines and robots that can explore the human body, find and treat diseases since Richard Feynman’s famous speech, “There's plenty of room at the bottom,” in which the idea of a “swallowable surgeon” was proposed in the 1950s. Even though we are at a state of infancy to achieve this vision, recent intense progress on nanotechnology, MEMS/NEMS technology and micro-/nanorobotics has accelerated the pace toward the goal. A number of research efforts have been recently published regarding the development of tiny swimming machines/robots from the basic principles and fabrication methods to practical applications. 

  I will present the past and recent research progress on medical micro-/nanorobots. The challenges and opportunities of using these tiny agents for biomedical applications will be discussed.

  Incentive Mechanism Design for Crowd Systems

  Bio

  Abstract

  Crowd systems can help solve complicated problems through the collective efforts of many non-expert agents. A key to success is to incentivize enough agents to participate and exert efforts.

  Distributed Intelligence at the Edge

  Bio

  Abstract

  The emerging IoT applications in connected healthcare, industrial internet, multi-robot systems, and other areas demand higher intelligence of the connected devices, larger scale of the systems, and better decision making leveraged by analyzing the data being continuously generated. In this context, centralized cloud computing would face high data transmission cost, high response time, and data privacy issues. The edge cloud paradigm seeks to alleviate these inefficiencies by moving the computation and analytics tasks closer to the end devices. It facilitates the evolution of IoT from instrumentation and interconnection to distributed intelligence. This talk focuses on collaborative edge computing where edge nodes share data and computation resources and perform tasks by leveraging distributed intelligence. It covers the major problems in distributed collaboration we are currently studying, namely collaborative task execution, distributed machine learning, and distributed cooperation in autonomous multi-robot systems. Solutions need to address the challenging issues such as distributed data sources, conflicting network flows, heterogeneous devices, consistency, and mutual influence during the training.

  Medical Biometrics- A Computerized TCM Data Analysis Approach

  Bio

  Abstract

  Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) diagnosis methods are mainly relied on Doctor's experience and not quantified. In this presentation, we will try to develop a novel approach by using Medical Biometrics technology to solve these problems. By some TCM-orient diagnosis acquisition devices, we could collect many kinds of date like tongue/pulse/odor with a priori knowledge from healthy/sub-healthy in Body Checking Station or from different diseases in Hospitals. Then, we use a statistical pattern recognition method to extract all possible features from these images/waveforms, including color, texture, shape, and so on. After matching between our training data and testing data, some decision rules will be made. Finally, we apply our results to the practical diseases diagnosis to illustrate the effectiveness of our approach.

  Embracing Mechanical Intelligence for Agile Locomotion

  Bio

  Abstract

  Understanding the locomotion principle behind animals is crucial in developing next generation of agile robotic platform. Over the past decades, a wide range of bio-inspired legged robots have been developed that can run, jump, and climb over a variety of challenging surfaces.  However, in terms of maneuverability they still lag far behind animals.  Animals have instinct to use their mechanical body and external appendages (such as tails) effectively to achieve spectacular maneuverability, energy efficient locomotion, and robust stabilization to large perturbations which may not be easily attained in the existing legged robots. 
  In this talk, we will present our efforts on the development of innovative legged robots with greater mobility/efficiency/robustness, comparable to its biological counterpart.  We will discuss the fundamental challenges for legged robots and show our initial results to demonstrate the feasibility of developing such systems through the use of external appendages and advanced intelligent algorithms.  We believe our solutions could potentially lead to more efficient legged robot design and give the legged robot greater mobility and robustness for moving through complex real-world environments, comparable to its biological counterpart.
