报告摘要：With over half a billion years behind them, fish have evolved to swim with remarkable efficiency, agility, and stealth in their three-dimensional aquatic world. Given this, it's natural that engineers often look to fish for inspiration when developing efficient underwater propulsion systems. Over the years, roboticists have been inspired by these biological marvels to design fish-like robots that mimic real fish in terms of morphology, locomotion, movement, and hydrodynamics. Interestingly, the trend has recently shifted from merely drawing inspiration from biology to using robotics as a tool for better understanding biological processes. In this talk, I will first discuss our approach to designing and controlling these robotic fish, rooted in the concept of bio-inspiration. I will then provide examples of how we use both real and virtual robots to explore the mechanisms of collective behavior in schooling fish, specifically for large and small Reynolds numbers, respectively. To conclude, I'll offer a glimpse into my current and future endeavors in the realms of robotics, hydrodynamics and biology.
专家介绍：Liang Li is a Project Leader (PI) at the University of Konstanz and the Max-Planck Institute of Animal Behavior. He received a bachelor's degree in automation from Chongqing University in 2011 and a PhD in general mechanics and foundation of mechanics from Peking University in 2017. From February 2017 to June 2021, he was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Collective Behaviour, Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior, Konstanz, Germany. His research interests include bio-inspired robots, swarm robots, collective behaviour in hybrid animal-robot systems, and bio-fluid dynamics in fish schools. He has published interdisciplinary studies in more than 37 peer-reviewed journals, including Nature Communications and PNAS. He has been awarded science prizes by the Messmer Foundation and recognized as an outstanding reviewer for IOP. Additionally, he serves on the education committee of the International Society of Bionic Engineering.
