Soft Blog guest "Astro Boy" introduction "old naughty boy" Fukuda Toshio will appear at the 2019 Soft Blog

He is the first scientist in the world to advocate micro-nano operating robots. He came to China 7 years ago.

As an expert in the “Thousand Talents Program for Foreign Experts”, after joining Beijing Institute of Technology, he achieved two “firsts” – first, he created the world’s first cross-scale collaborative biological assembly robot system, achieving The first is the automated processing of 200 micron artificial microvessels; the second is the creation of the world's first nano-manipulation robot system to achieve in-situ characterization of single cells.

He is Toshio Fukuda. He will attend the first Global Software Industry Development Summit Forum of the 2019 Software Expo and deliver a keynote speech.

On the home page of the PPT released by Toshio Fukuda on many occasions, there is the Japanese animation "Astro Boy". He once said, "This is my starting point."

As a middle school student, Toshio Fukuda often wondered about this Japanese "boy" with fire-breathing legs: "How does it fly?"

After nearly 40 years in the industry, he has studied There are countless robots, and it was this curiosity that led Toshio Fukuda, who originally studied traditional robots, to enter the micro-nano world. One afternoon in 1984, he was rowing on a small river and saw some "moving things" in the water, so he used an empty plastic bottle to bring the water back to the river for observation. Under the microscope, he discovered that there were so many microorganisms in the small water droplets.

During Professor Fukuda’s research career, he was mainly engaged in research on robot bionics and multi-scale control. His results established and expanded the new field of robotics research and achieved the following world-recognized achievements.

First, he created a dynamic self-reconfiguration control theoretical system for multi-task modular robots, invented the first multi-task robot based on this theoretical system, and opened a new chapter in the research of modular multi-task robots.

The second is to create adaptive control theory and methods for multi-modal movement of bionic robots in dynamic environments. By studying the movement postures of apes, the passive dynamic autonomous control theory was proposed, which triggered research on natural movement and intelligent control of robots.

The third is to propose the theory and technology for robots to manipulate nanomaterials under a scanning electron microscope, invent the theory of nanoscale dynamic observation under the action of mechanical force and the collaborative control method of robots, and realize the three-dimensional characterization and control of nanomaterials. Control.

Sandia National Laboratory in the United States called him "the most representative researcher in the field of nanomanipulation robots in the world" in the Nanorobotics Research Yearbook submitted to the Department of Energy.

In 1995, Toshio Fukuda came to China for the first time at the invitation of Song Jian, then director of the National Science and Technology Commission. Since then, he has come to China many times and served as a visiting professor in many universities.

In China, Professor Fukuda has trained more than 30 Chinese doctors and postdoctoral fellows, among whom Guo Shuxiang, an expert in the “Thousand Talents Plan”, has become a pillar of my country’s robotics discipline.

In 2010, Professor Fukuda won the "Nobel Prize" in the field of engineering technology - the highest award "Lifetime Achievement Award" issued by IEEE Headquarters. In order to fully promote academic exchanges between China and foreign countries, Professor Fukuda was invited to serve as the chairman of the advisory committee of the World Robot Conference hosted by my country for the first time. He guided Chinese scholars to establish the Beijing Professional Committee of the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society, hosted a number of academic conferences with world influence, and provided guidance for my country's robotics research. Made important contributions to the world.

In 2014, he received the "Friendship Award" issued by the Chinese government. His actions showed that he is a world-class scientist who helps China.
