| Abstract Scope |
Intelligent materials, composed of multiple voxels that can be individually designed and fabricated, have achieved critical properties and functions inaccessible to common materials in a digitalized and programmable manner. This talk will be focused on intelligent materials composed of functional voxels responsive to magnetic fields. I will first discuss the design and optimization of the magnetic intelligent materials with the genetic algorithm and generative adversarial network (GAN), their fabrication with multi-material 3D printing, and their control with reinforced learning. I will then discuss one example application of the magnetic intelligent material as a soft continuum robot capable of navigating inside the complex blood vessels inside the brain to remotely treat stroke and aneurysm – potentially saving millions of patients without timely access to medical centers. I will conclude the talk with a perspective on the development and applications of intelligent materials at the AI-robotics-medicine nexus. |
