Prof. Han Huang, Sun Yat-sen University, ChinaProfessor Huang is the Director of the College of Engineering and the Dean of the School of Advanced Manufacturing at Sun Yat-sen University, as well as the discipline leader in Mechanical Engineering. He is a lifelong honorary professor at the University of Queensland and a recipient of the National Major Talent Program. He serves as an associate editor for two top-tier manufacturing journals recognized by the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Professor Huang has led 13 projects funded by the Australian Research Council, totaling approximately 50 million RMB, and has published over 400 papers. He is listed among Stanford's "Top 2% of Global Scientists." His main research areas include ultra-precision machining, nano-manufacturing, additive manufacturing, intelligent manufacturing, coating material preparation, and lubrication technology. He proposed the ductile threshold grinding correction model, invented high-speed deep grinding, nano-lubrication technology, and a robotic grinding and polishing system, for which he received the Singapore National Technology Award. |
Prof. Rong Xong, Zhejiang University, ChinaProfessor Rong Xiong is a doctoral supervisor and a member of the expert group for the Ministry of Science and Technology's key special project on intelligent robots. He serves as a council member of RoboCup International and is the director of the Robotics Laboratory at the Intelligent Systems and Control Research Institute of Zhejiang University, as well as the co-director of the Joint Robotics Research Center between Zhejiang University and the University of Technology Sydney. Since 2000, Professor Xiong has conducted research in intelligent perception and control technologies for robots, achieving a series of innovative results in areas including high-efficiency, high-precision visual recognition and trajectory prediction, accurate modeling and positioning in complex dynamic environments, and rapid movement and balance control of bionic legs. He has independently developed a humanoid robot system capable of fast and continuous dynamic table tennis rallies, a motor-driven quadruped robot capable of running and jumping, and a small soccer robot that has won multiple international championships. He has published over 80 papers in journals suchas IEEE Transactions and holds 42 national invention patents, one U.S. invention patent, and has successfully transferred 17 patents for commercialization. His work has resulted in robotic products such as autonomous inspection robots for substations and navigation robots for logistics in factories, which have been widely applied by major companies including State Grid, Huawei, and Toshiba. |
Prof. LiyiLi, Harbin Institute of Technology, ChinaFocusing on the significant needs of the country and industry, I have been engaged in long-term research in the fields of special motors and specialized electromagnetic devices. In response to the demands of the chip manufacturing industry, and relying on key scientific and technological projects, I have addressed the "bottleneck" core issue of linear motors that possess both high precision and high dynamic characteristics for the worktable system of lithography machines. Additionally, to meet the high-reliability attitude control requirements of certain types of aircraft, I have developed and applied high-overload, high-power motor systems. I have successfully developed a series of high-speed spindle motor systems, which have been widely promoted. In 2012, I received the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars, and in 2013, I was awarded a national-level high-level talent title, serving on seven academic committees in the country. I have won a second prize for national technological invention and six provincial and ministerial-level awards. To date, I have published over 300 academic papers, with 160 indexed by SCI. I hold more than 80 authorized patents, with three receiving silver awards at invention expos and ten having been successfully transferred for technical application within enterprises. I have undertaken more than 30 significant research projects. |
