2009年秋季先进机器人与MEMS技术系列学术讲座（30）
南开大学机器人与信息自动化研究所 Institute of Robotics and Automatic Information System 2009年秋季先进机器人与MEMS技术系列学术讲座 Seminar Series：Advanced Robotics & MEMS 报告人：赵毅 博士 单位：The Ohio State University 题目： Implantable Inertial Sensors for Vestibular Prosthesis 地点：主楼227 时间：2009年12月17日（周四）下午2:30~4:30 Abstract： More than 6.2 million Americans report experiencing chronic problems with dizziness or balance, which demonstrates a necessity of balance prosthesis. An implantable or wearable prosthesis requires a device integrating miniaturized motion sensors, signal processors and stimulating electrodes on a single chip for detecting the body motion, converting the motion parameters to physiological meaningful signals and transferring the signals to peripheral and central nervous systems. The central component of the prosthesis is the motion sensor, which should have identical or similar functions as natural vestibular system in the inner ear. In this talk, I will introduce the pioneer work of using micromachined inertial sensors for vestibular prosthesis. The strengths and limitations of the current solid-state sensors will be discussed. In particular, I will elaborate our ongoing research on developing a liquid state bio-inspired inertial sensor for motion detection. The design and implementation of a motion sensor using a liquid marble as the proof mass will be described. I will also introduce other ongoing research activities in Laboratory for Biomedical Microsystems, and in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the Ohio State University. Biography： Dr. Yi Zhao is an assistant professor in Department of Biomedical Engineering at the Ohio State University. He received BS and MS degrees in Mechanical Engineering from Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, and PhD degree in Manufacturing Engineering from Boston University, Boston. He directs the Laboratory for Biomedical Microsystems and conducts research in development of micro/nano devices for investigating cellular mechanotransduction and miniaturized tools for point-of-care diagnostics. He is the author of 50+ peer-reviewed journal and conference proceeding papers in the field of biomedical micro/nanotechnologies. His research is highlighted by OSU Research News and a number of online media including MedicalNewsToday, ScienceDaily and Physorg, His research is also included in 2009 OSU entrepreneurship class in Fisher College of Business. Dr. Zhao serves regularly as reviewer for 10+ journals in microengineering and nanotechnology, and as panel reviewer for several federal and private funding agencies. He also serves as session organizer and chair for a number of international conferences, including ASME congress meetings. His research is currently sponsored by NSF MRSEC Center for Emergent Materials, National Institute of Health and Mathematical Biosciences Institute at OSU. He is a member of ASME, IEEE, ARVO, ASEE and BMES. |
