  报告内容:

  UK strategy recognises the significance of robotics for challenging environments in order to provide safe, reliable and re-usable solutions. The talk will consider the potential for advanced AI techniques, including deep learning, in conjunction with increasingly commoditised robot hardware to address common issues including inspection and remote maintenance interventions.

  Two uses cases will be explored:

  Autonomous vehicles as a vanguard application of robotics which has the potential to be the breakthrough technology;

  Fusion offers huge potential for large scale base load electricity supply. Research shows that manual maintenance of a future fusion reactor is not credible. This leads to remote maintenance being both device defining and mission critical. RACE’s research has much wider cross sector impact, including space exploration and under water mining, all of which is being addressed under the RACE technology roadmap called ‘RACE to ZERO’.

  英国政府已经意识在极端环境下的机器人应用具有重要意义,其可以提供安全、可信并可重复利用的解决方案。

  本讲座涉及先进人工智能技术(包括深度学习),这些潜力巨大的先进技术可与日益商业化的机器人硬件一起为诊断和远程维护干预等常见问题提供解决方案。

  本讲座基于以下两个具体案例来展开介绍:

  1)无人驾驶汽车:无人驾驶作为机器人的先锋应用,其有潜力成为突破性技术。

  2)聚变堆中的遥操作维护:核聚变是未来解决大规模基础电力供应的潜在解决方案,已有研究表明在未来聚变反应堆中进行人工维护是不可能的。因此,遥操作维护成为未来聚变堆设计,定型和建设中的关键问题。

  本报告还将介绍名为“RACE to ZERO”的RACE科技路线图,在其推动下,RACE的研究工作可推广应用到诸多领域,包括但不局限于空间探索和深水采矿等。

  报告人简介:

  Dr Rob Buckingham is a Director of the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) and the first Head of RACE, the UK’s new centre for Remote Applications in Challenging Environments. Rob was a lead author of the UK’s Robotics and Autonomous Systems Strategy. Before joining the UKAEA, Rob co-founded and was Managing Director of OC Robotics which developed and commercialised snake-arm robots. He is a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering and a Fellow of the Institute of Engineering and Technology.

  Rob Buckingham博士是英国原子能管理局(UKAEA)主要负责人,以及RACE(Remote Applications in Challenging Environments )部门的主任,RACE部门是英国新成立的针对极端条件下遥操作应用的专门研究机构。Buckingham教授曾经参与起草了英国政府关于机器人和自动化系统的国家战略。在加入英国原子能管理局之前,他是OC Robotics公司的联合创始人并负责该公司的运营管理,该公司专注于研究蛇形机械臂,并致力于对其进行商业化。他是英国皇家工程院院士、英国工程技术学会(IET)会士。
