DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Asst. Prof. Onur Özcan\, Bilkent University\n\nTopic:
  "Design\, Manufacturing\, And Locomotion Of Miniature Robots"\n\nLocation
 : Middle East Technical University\, Ankara\, Turkey\n\nAbstract: Biologic
 al research over the past several decades has elucidated some of the mecha
 nisms behind highly mobile\, efficient\, and robust locomotion in insects 
 and small animals. Roboticists try to use this information to create biolo
 gically inspired miniature machines capable of running\, jumping\, and cli
 mbing robustly over a variety of terrains. However\, despite the recent ad
 vances in the field of miniature robotics\, the design and capabilities of
  these robots are still very limited due to unavailablity of fabrication m
 ethods and our poor grasp of physics behind miniature robot locomotion. Th
 is talk addresses these challenges\, focusing on the mechanical design and
  fabrication of Bilkent miniature robots and the static and dynamic modeli
 ng efforts conducted. Miniature robots have the potential for use in hazar
 dous environments\, as well as being ideal tools to investigate locomotion
  at small scales.\n\nBio: Dr. Onur Özcan creates bio-inspired miniature a
 mbulatory robots through research at the interface of mechanical engineeri
 ng and robotics. He received his B.S. (2007) in Mechatronics Engineering a
 t Sabancı University and his M.S. (2010) and Ph.D. (2012) in Mechanical E
 ngineering at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh\, Pennsylvania\, US
 A\, where he worked on control and automation of tip-directed nanoscale fa
 brication. As a postdoctoral fellow\, he conducted research on fabrication
  and control of miniature crawling robots at Harvard University’s School
  of Engineering and Applied Sciences and the Wyss Institute for Biological
 ly Inspired Engineering from April 2012 to January 2015. Following his pos
 tdoctoral position\, he joined Bilkent University Mechanical Engineering D
 epartment as an Assistant Professor in January 2015.\n\nSpeaker(s): Asst.
