Las 4as Jornadas Nacionales de Robótica, como es habitual, agrupa las reuniones
periódicas que organiza desde hace unos años el Grupo Temático de Robótica del
Comité Español de Automática (CEA-GTRob) y la Red Nacional de Robótica (RNR)
con la jornada de seguimiento de los proyectos de Robótica y temas afines que lleva a
cabo el Plan Nacional de I+D+I dentro de su programa de Diseño y Producción
Industrial (DPI). Por cuarta vez ambos acontecimientos están coordinados y se celebran
en días consecutivos. Además, estas Jornadas estarán centradas en el análisis de las
actividades llevadas a cabo durante este año y las propuestas para actuaciones futuras.

Brad Nelson is the Professor of Robotics and Intelligent Systems at ETH
Zürich. His primary research direction lies in extending robotics research
into emerging areas of science and engineering, and his main research
topics are in microrobotics and nanorobotics. He received a B.S.
(Mechanical Engineering) from the University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign in 1984, an M.S. (Mechanical Engineering) from the University
of Minnesota in 1987, and the Ph.D. degree in Robotics (School of
Computer Science) from Carnegie Mellon University in 1995. During these
years he also worked as an engineer at Honeywell and Motorola, and
served as a United States Peace Corps Volunteer in Botswana, Africa. In
1995 he became Assistant Professor at the University of Illinois at
Chicago, Associate Professor at the University of Minnesota in 1998, and Professor at ETH in
2002.
He has been awarded a McKnight Land-Grant Professorship and is a recipient of the Office of
Naval Research Young Investigator Award, the National Science Foundation Faculty Early
Career Development (CAREER) Award, the McKnight Presidential Fellows Award, and the
Bronze Tablet. He was elected as a Robotics and Automation Society Distinguished Lecturer in
2003 has been a finalist for and/or won best paper awards at major robotics conferences and
journals in 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007. He was named to the 2005 "Scientific American 50",
Scientific American magazine's annual list recognizing fifty outstanding acts of leadership in
science and technology from the past year for his efforts in nanotube manufacturing. His lab won
the 2007 RoboCup Nanogram Competition, the first year the event was held.
Professor Nelson serves on or has been a member of the editorial boards of the IEEE
Transactions on Robotics, the IEEE Transactions on Nanotechnology, the Journal of
Micromechatronics, the Journal of Optomechatronics, and the IEEE Robotics and Automation
Magazine. He has chaired several international workshops and conferences, has served as the
head of the Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering from 2005-2007, and is
currently the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the ETH Electron Microscopy Center (EMEZ).
From Micro to Nano Robotics
Abstract:
Robots are currently exploring many environments that are difficult if not impossible for humans
to reach, such as the edge of the solar system, the planet Mars, volcanoes on Earth, and the
undersea world. The goal of these robotic explorers is to obtain knowledge about our universe
and to answer fundamental questions about life and human origins. Microrobotics has entered
this field by exploring life at a much smaller scale and more fundamental level. Microrobotic
systems for physically exploring the structures of biological cells are being developed, and
robotic motion planning strategies are being used to investigate protein folding. Microrobotic
mechanisms have been used to investigate organism behaviors, such as the flight dynamics of
fruit flies as well as the neurophysiology that govern many other biologically interesting
behaviors. These recent research efforts and others like them illustrate how several areas of
robotics research are rapidly converging to create this new discipline I refer to as
BioMicroRobotics. These new directions in robotics represent only a beginning and indicate that
robotics research, and biomicrorobotics in particular, has the capability of making significant
contributions in the understanding of life. In moving from the micro domain to nanometric scales,
completely different issues in developing nanorobotic systems and in their application arise. The
second part of the talk will detail recent efforts at the Institute of Robotics and Intelligent Systems
at ETH-Zurich in fabricating nanometer scale robotic components.
