Sonny Astani Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
SPEAKER:
Prof. Aristides Requicha, USC- Gordon Marshall Chair in Engineering and
Professor of Computer ScienceNanorobotics is an emerging field that encompasses: * Programmable assembly of nanoscale components (i) by manipulations with SPMs (or other robotic devices), (ii) by passive self-assembly on programmed templates, or (iii) by active self-assembly of robotic components.
* Design and fabrication of nanorobots with overall dimensions at or below the micrometer range and made of nanoscopic components.
* Programming and coordination of large numbers of such nanorobots. This talk begins with a brief introduction to nanotechnology and then assesses the state of the art and open issues in the three areas above.Location: Kaprielian Hall (KAP) - rielian Hall, Room 203
