IEEE DL\, Dr Tomomichi Sugihara from Preferred Nertorks\, Inc.\, J apan and Mr Tom Leofler\, CEO\, Hullbot\, Australia will join us and talk about the following topics.\n\nDr Tomomichi Sugihara:\nBehaviour System De sign Towards a Versatile Humanoid Robot\n(Dr Tomomichi Sugihara will talk about dynamics and behaviour synthesis of humanoid robots\, control archit ecture\, concept and case studies of dynamics morphing\, and successive in formation processing for biped locomotion.)\n\nBiography: Tomomichi Sugiha ra is a researcher of Preferred Networks\, Inc.\, a start-up company of in formatics. Before joining the company\, he made his academic career in man y national universities in Japan. He received his PhD from the University of Tokyo in 2004. He was an academic research assistant from 2004 to 2005 at the University of Tokyo and became a research associate. He worked at K yushu University as a guest associate professor from 2007 to 2010\, and at Osaka University as an associate professor from 2010 to 2019. His researc h interests include kinematics and dynamics computation\, motion planning\ , control\, hardware design\, and software development of anthropomorphic robots. He also studies human motor control based on robotic technologies. \n\nMr Tom Leofler:\nHullbot - An Autonomous Underwater Hull Cleaning Robo t\n(Hullbot is an autonomous underwater robot designed to perform regular autonomous cleaning of boat hulls to remove biofouling and maintain them i n a clean state. Hullbot's mission is to revolutionise the anti-fouling in dustry by introducing a consumer robotics product that is smart\, elegant and environmentally friendly and outperforms all other antifouling product s. Their initial target market is the luxury yacht sector in Australia\, f ollowed by all yachts\, boats\, ships and underwater structures worldwide. Mr Tom Leofler will talk about Hullbot\; it's electronics\, prototyping a nd waterproofing of hardware\, interdisciplinary tasks and teams\, and oth er aspects of the design and production.)\n\nBiography: Tom Loefler has an honours degree in Industrial Design from UNSW and has worked extensively in product design and manufacturing. His most recent role before Hullbot w as as Senior Robot Designer for the Dutch industrial robotics company\, Ve rtidrive\, in Rotterdam. Tom has led and managed many intricate design\, e ngineering and construction projects in areas such as boat building\, medi cal device manufacturing\, industrial design\, new product development and the construction industries.\n\nSpeaker(s): Tomomichi Sugihara\, Tom Loef ler\n\nRoom: 408\, Bldg: 11\, ENGINEERING AND IT\, Level 6\, 81 Broadway\ , Ultimo\, Building 11 Level 6 Room 408 (CB11.06.408)\, Sydney\, New South Wales\, Australia\, 2007 LOCATION:Room: 408\, Bldg: 11\, ENGINEERING AND IT\, Level 6\, 81 Broadway \, Ultimo\, Building 11 Level 6 Room 408 (CB11.06.408)\, Sydney\, New Sout h Wales\, Australia\, 2007 ORGANIZER:budhaditya.majumdar@ieee.org SEQUENCE:8 SUMMARY:Inaugural IEEE NSW Section Robotics and Automation Society Chapter Workshop URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/211638 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>The IEEE NSW Section Robotics and Automati on Society Chapter will have its first distinguished lecture and workshop on the 30th of January 2020.
