Abstract:

This workshop provides an opportunity to discuss a frontier research works on the bioinspired system based on micro-nanorobotics. Biological systems have various advantages especially in their gdesign, energy, and integrationh. The biological system has uniqueness because they made up from micro-nano scale structures. Recent progresses in measurement/manipulation/assembly techniques of biological structures and cells are readily applied to realize hybridization between mechanical and biological systems. These novel research works are important to create the innovative next-generation academic and industrial applications. Bioinspired and biointegrated systems are investigated to integrate the dry and wet systems artificially.

In this workshop, we invited the pioneer researchers related on the MEMS/NEMS, Micro-Nano-assembly, Bioinspired and biointegrated devices, Micro-Nanorobotics, and Micro-Nanomanipulations.

Primary/secondary audience:

The intended audience includes the researchers and engineers who are working on control engineering, bio-medical engineering, device construction, micro/nano industrial applications, automation engineering, sensor/actuator engineering and so on. Including young researchers, students, engineers from industry.
