DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Prof. Dr. Salvador Pané i Vidal\nhosted by Maria Ibá
 ñez\nAbstract: We live in a world increasingly surrounded by robots such 
 as robotic surgical systems\, flying drones\, autonomous planetary rovers\
 , and robotic appliances. An emerging family of robotic systems are unteth
 ered micro- and nanorobots. These tiny vehicles can move in fluids by mean
 s of external energy sources such as light\, ultrasound\, magnetic fields 
 or combinations of these. One of the ultimate goals of small-scale robotic
 s is to develop machines that can deliver drugs\, or realize other medical
  missions in confined spaces of the human body. Other applications include
  water remediation or “on-the-fly” chemistry. The recent rapid develop
 ments in small-scale robotics is undeniably related to advances in materia
 l science and manufacturing. However\, while many applications have been d
 emonstrated\, aspects such as complex locomotion\, multifunctionality\, bi
 ocompatibility and biodegradability need to be further investigated for th
 e successful translation of these devices to real applications. To this en
 d\, new material-based concepts and novel fabrication schemes are urgently
  required. This talk will explore various material-based concepts and inno
 vative fabrication techniques to address translational challenges and furt
 her enhance the field of small-scale robotics.
