Abstract: In general, today’s robots face four kinds of major challenges. Firstly, they must deal with uncertainty within the systems, such as sensor noise, actuator inaccuracy, and components failure. Secondly, they must handle huge uncertainties in the real world, which is dynamically changing over time. Thirdly, they must learn something new from their daily operations for adaptation to new environments and new tasks. Finally, they should have an intuitive way to interact with public for successful deployment in our society. Inspired from nature, robotics researchers are currently working on an evolutionary transformation from biosystems to intelligent robots. As a result, these robots are autonomous, interactive, and intelligent, which are benefited from bio-principles, bioprocesses, and bio-mechanisms in nature. In this talk, I will briefly overview the behaviour-based approach to create robot intelligence and present some research work toward the development of biologically inspired robots or behaviour-based robots. More specifically, biosystem modelling, service robots, smart wheelchairs and swarm robotics are discussed respectively, and some experimental results are demonstrated via video. A brief introduction to Prof. Huosheng Hu: Huosheng Hu is a Professor in the School of Computer Science & Electronic Engineering at the University of Essex, United Kingdom.
