| Asst Prof Lum Guo Zhan | The three main research topics in our lab are: 1. shape-programmable millimeter-scale robots, 2. gallium and 3. flexure mechanisms for high precision applications.
1. Shape-Programmable Millimeter-scale Robots
Shape-programmable robots are machines that can be excited by external stimuli to generate desired time-varying shapes. These robots are especially appealing at small-scale because they have great potential to achieve functionalities unattainable by their rigid counterparts.
As these miniature soft robots can easily access confined spaces within the human body, they show great promise to realize revolutionary biomedical applications such as targeted drug delivery and minimally-invasive surgeries. While there exists many different types of actuation, here we are particularly interested in using remote magnetic fields to control our robots. In contrast to other methods, magnetic actuation offers higher control authority as the actuating fields can be controlled not only in their magnitude but also in their direction and spatial-gradients. Furthermore, this actuation method will be compatible for our targeted medical applications as the actuating magnetic fields can easily and harmlessly penetrate through biological tissues.
Heading towards these biomedical applications, we have previously developed a universal design method that can program the magnetization profile and actuating fields for our robots to achieve their specified functionalities. However, to enhance the practicality of these robots, we will continue to develop new design methods to further enhance their functionalities.
2. Gallium
Gallium is a class of liquid metal that can be attached to millimeter-scale robots to enhance their functionality. In our previous research, we discovered that gallium can exhibit highly reversible and switchable adhesion when it undergoes a solid–liquid phase transition. It has been demonstrated that this liquid metal can become highly adhesive when it freezes and it can conversely lose its adhesion when it melts. These adhesive properties had been characterized, and we experimentally show that gallium has good performance over a wide range of smooth and rough surfaces, under both dry and wet conditions.
Another critical advantage of gallium is that it has a natural layer of oxide, which acts like an elastic membrane surrounding the liquid metal. This oxide layer can effectively conserve the mass of gallium when it is in the liquid-state, and this in turn ensures that gallium can be used repeatedly as a reversible and switchable adhesive. The unique adhesive properties of gallium can therefore allow it to perform various pick-and-place tasks at small-scale, which are critical for numerous applications in transfer printing, robotics, electronic packaging, and biomedicine.
We believe there are still many interesting abilities in gallium, which have not been discovered yet. Therefore, we will continue to explore new abilities of this material and transform them into critical functions for miniature robots.
3. Flexure Mechanisms
Flexure mechanisms are flexible structures that are designed to deliver desired motions via elastic deformations. Due to their unique actuation, these structures can effectively eliminate backlash and dry friction, allowing them to achieve highly repeatable motions. As a result, flexure mechanisms have become the ideal candidates for constructing high precision robotic systems, and they have been deployed across a wide range of applications pertaining to biomedical research, microscopy technologies and various industrial manufacturing processes.
From the design perspective, the performances of many existing flexure mechanisms are still not optimal. Hence, here we will explore new design methods that can successfully address such issues such that engineers can fully utilize such machines. |

| Assoc Prof Quek Hiok Chai | His main interests includes the research and study of brain-inspired functional and computational models of memory structures that underlie the human reasoning process. In addition, advanced brain-inspired reasoning and cognition frameworks such as focus of attention, affect modeling, skill learning from novice to expert are actively investigated using the neurocognitive informatic approach. Fuzzy, Fuzzy neural, Neural, GA, GA-Neural, Rough set that maps formal fuzzy logical structures onto neural systems to perform fuzzy set derivation and Rule identification/reduction are investigated. The development of architectures that supports on-line and off-line learning fuzzy intelligent rule based systems is examined. The research issues cover fuzzy clustering, learning, modeling, fuzzy rule model, etc. These basic techniques are used to craft the brain-inspired memory learning systems. These memory learning structures are the building blocks of the functional neuro-cognitive brain and they can be broadly classified into huppocampal global semantic memories and neocortical like semantic association memories. In addition, research into CMAC and in-house developed MCMACs and Fuzzy MCMACs are actively pursued. They form a class of cerebellar like association memories that have excellent memory resolution and recall. The application areas are extensive as they rely heavily on the basic research into brain-inspired learning memory structures and brain-inspired cognitive architectures for emotion, cognition and perception modeling. The exciting application areas include computational finance ? arbitration, portfolio, trend analysis, bond and commodity trading; biomedical engineering ? diabetes modeling and control, ICU ventilator control; Affect modeling for edutainment, forensic tools, marketing research tools; Medical decision support tools ? thermograph analysis, pediatric leukemia and ovarian cancer analysis; Intelligent transportation analysis tools ? trend analysis and incident monitoring; as well as student affect modeling in Intelligent Tutoring System. |

Professor Rajapakse has pioneered several techniques for analysis of anatomical and functional MR images. His team was the first to develop techniques to model brain connectivity in an exploratory manner, using functional MR images. Presently, his team is investigating brain connectivity patterns underlying higher-order brain functions such as language and memory, and brain disease such as Parkinson's disease. He is also working on potential applications of brain connectivity and constrained independent component analysis (cICA) in Brain Computater Interface applications, especially in identifying different mental states and extracting features robust to inter- and intra-subject variations.
Professor Rajapakse is presently working on identifying key targets in biological pathways. His research is centered on identifying co-regulated genes, building gene regulary networks, fusion of protein-interactions, and identifying key molecules and core networks in pathways.
