Co-organized by HKUST Jockey Club Institute for Advanced Study & Division of Biomedical Engineering & Department of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering 5-Day Short Course Bio-inspired flight system: integration of biology, computing, mechanical, and aeronautical engineering 24–28 November 2014 Course Objective: This five-day course is designed to introduce engineers, mathematicians, physicists and others to the emerging research domain of bio-inspired engineering with a specific focus on bio-inspired flight system. Bio-inspired engineering seeks Prof. Hao LIU sustainable solutions by emulating nature’s time-tested patterns -Professor, Biomechanical Engineering of Graduate and strategies. This new big engineering combines the disciplines School of Engineering, Chiba University of biology and technology or other field of innovation with the -Chair Professor, Shanghai Jiao Tong University goal of solving practical problems through the abstraction, -Director, Shanghai Jiao Tong University & Chiba University International Cooperative Research transfer, and application of knowledge gained from biological Center (SJTU-CU ICRC) systems by interdisciplinary cooperation. Bio-inspired flight system presents one of the sophisticated and exciting ventures in Day 1 biomimetics, which brings together state-of-the-art technologies Introduction to bio-inspired engineering: and concepts that: definition, history, contemporary issues, and future directions Introduction to bio-inspired flight system: definition, history, contemporary issues, and future directions • Reveal how insects can fly by flapping wings and multi-sensory systems. Day 2 • Inspire new technologies, structures and materials, Biological flight in nature optimization designs and robotics via biological flight system. Biological wing aerodynamics • Develop innovative autonomous systems and flying robotics that can revolutionize designs of the next-generation robotics. Day 3 • Educate the next generation of engineers and scientists who will benefit much from the successful bio-inspired Materials, structures, and dynamics of biological wings Muscle function and control of biological This course provides with an introduction to bio-inspired flight system. wings It will help overarch different aspects cross biology, computing, mechanical, and aeronautical engineering to familiarize participants Day 4 Immune response to HIV with the challenges and opportunities in bio-inspired engineering.
