内容摘要：Research on biologically inspired intelligent systems has made significant progress in both understanding the biological systems and developing bionic engineering applications to information processing and systems control. In this talk, I will start with a very brief introduction to some biologically inspired intelligent systems approaches. Then several applications of intelligent systems to biological systems and bio-inspired systems will be briefly presented. After that, I will focus on our current research on bio-inspired intelligent systems with applications to various robotics systems and other engineering systems, including intelligent real-time monitoring and control of livestock odors with a wireless e-noses network system, real-time path planning, tracking and control of autonomous mobile robots; intelligent tomato-harvesting robotic systems, intelligent behavior-based mobile robotic systems, and intelligent cooperation and coordination of multi-robot systems.

 

个人简介：Prof. Yang received the B.Sc. degree in engineering physics from Beijing University, China, in 1987, the first of his two M.Sc.  degrees in biophysics from Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China, in 1990, the second M.Sc. 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 University of Guelph in Canada in August 1999. Currently he is a Professor and the Head of the Advanced Robotics and Intelligent Systems (ARIS) Laboratory at the University of Guelph. Prof. Yang’s research expertise is in the area of intelligent systems, robotics, sensors and signal processing, multi-sensor fusion, wireless sensor networks, intelligent control, and computational neuroscience. Dr. Yang has served as the Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Robotics and Artificial Intelligence, and an Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Cybernetics, International Journal of Robotics and Automation, and several other international journals. Dr. Yang has involved in the organization of many international conferences.
