Abstract: Growing applications of robotics, automation and mechatronics in non-traditional industries (such as agricultural, food-processing, structural health monitoring, surgical robotics, and healthcare) present new opportunities as well as challenges. Often, such systems require fusing knowledge and techniques beyond traditional engineering fields. Distributed-parameter modeling plays an important role in designing novel actuators and sensors for robotics and automation. Recent advances in mathematical modeling, computational algorithms and mechatronics (that integrate computer, communication and control) have provided a basis to exploit new computational models as a tool not only to optimize designs but also to derive embedded field-based information for real-time control. This talk presents several new modeling techniques to overcome limitations associated with traditional lumped-parameter-based approaches that generally offer only 1st order accuracy. Selected examples (which include high-speed precision manufacturing, ultra-high resolution magnetic sensors, and bio-engineering systems) are given to help illustrate these impacts and yet to cover a wide variety of RAM applications. The intended audience of this talk includes undergraduates, graduate students and faculty with technology backgrounds, but not necessarily in mechanical engineering. The objective is to stimulate discussion of the future of RAM research and its potential application to the problems facing society in a rapidly changing world.
