Bio-inspired artificial intelligence with applications to various robotic systems
Simon X Yang
University of Guelph, Canada
Studies of biologically inspired artificial intelligence
have made significant progress in both understanding
the biological systems and developing innovative bionic
applications to diversified robotic systems for information
acquisition, signal processing, data analysis, decision making,
and system control. In this talk, I will start with a very
brief introduction to some biologically inspired intelligent
computations and their applications to early vision and
sensory motion in biological systems. After that, I will focus
on our recent works on innovative applications of bio-
inspired artificial intelligence to various robotic systems,
such as real-time intelligent sensing, path planning, tracking,
control, and teleoperation of autonomous robotic systems
including mobile robots, water surface robots, underwater
robots, and unmanned aerial robots; intelligent real-time
monitoring and control of livestock odors using novel robotic
e-noses; intelligent robotic system for real-time harvesting of
agricultural products; and intelligent real-time coordination
and cooperation of multi-robot systems.
Speaker Biography
Simon X Yang received the degree in engineering physics from Beijing
University, China in 1987, the first of two . degrees in biophysics from
Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China in 1990, the second .
degree in electrical engineering from the University of Houston, USA in
1996, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical and computer engineering from
the University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada in 1999. He joined the School
of Engineering at the University of Guelph, Canada in 1999. Currently
he is a Professor and the Head of the Advanced Robotics & Intelligent
Systems (ARIS) Laboratory at the University of Guelph in Canada. He has
diversified research expertise. He has published about 450 referred papers,
including over 200 journal papers (over 30 in IEEE Transactions). He has
been very active in professional activities. He serves as the Editor-in-Chief
of International Journal of Robotics and Automation, and an Associate
Editor or Editorial Board member of IEEE Transactions on Cybernetics,
and several other journals. Currently he is a panel member of the NSERC
Discovery Grants Selection Committee on Electrical and Computer
Engineering, a panel member of the NSERC-CIHR (Canadian Institutes of
Health Research) Collaborative Health Research Projects (CHRP) Selection
Committee, and a panel member of CIHR Grants Selection Committee.
He was General Chair of the 2011 IEEE International Conference on
Logistics and Automation. Among many of his awards, he was a recipient
of the Distinguished Professor Award at the University of Guelph.
