Title: Everysense Everywhere Human Communication

Abstract: This talk outlines new facilities that are arising in the hyperconnected internet era within human media spaces. This allows new embodied interaction between humans, species, and computation both socially and physically, with the aim of novel interactive communication and entertainment. Humans can develop new types of communication environments using all the senses, including touch, taste, and smell, which can increase support for multi-person multi-modal interaction and remote presence. In this talk, we present an alternative ubiquitous computing environment and space based on an integrated design of real and virtual worlds. We discuss some different research prototype systems for interactive communication, culture, and play.

Title: Service Robots in Smart Aqriculture: Desian Innovations, UAlApplicationsand a Case Study in Corn Farming

Abstract: In the era of digital transformation, service robots have become a cornerstone of smart agriculture, enhancing productivity, sustainability, and precision in farming practices. This talk explores the evolving role of autonomous and semi-autonomous service robots that support tasks such as crop monitoring, soil analysis, precision irrigation, weed control, and livestock management. Special attention is given to the use of UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) and vision systems in corn farming, where high-resolution imaging and AI-driven analysis enable early detection of crop stress, pests, and growth variability across large fields.

Following a review of various service robot designs, the talk will focus on one of the most recently developed systems, presented as a case study to provide a deeper analysis of its practical implementation, design considerations, and field performance. By integrating advanced technologies such as IoT sensors, AI, computer vision, and GPS, service robots enable real-time decision-making and optimize resource usage while minimizing environmental impact. Current applications, key benefits, technological challenges, and future prospects will be discussed, illustrating how service robots are reshaping modern agriculture into a more data-driven and resilient industry.

Title: Investigation and  Progress of Nanocomposites of Li/Na-ion Batteries for Robots

Abstract: Li/Na-ion batteries play an important role in the service robot and light industrial robot market (>90%) due to their high energy density and long cycle life. Series of innovative strategies have been developed by our research groups to address the urgent demand for high-performance cathode/anode materials: 1) Constructing phosphate-based cathodes with specially structured organic phosphorus sources to enhance electronic conductivity and ion diffusion rates while reducing the production costs; 2) Developing a series of anode composites through structural design and modification strategies to mitigate volume expansion and lithium dendrite issues; 3) Creating Na-ion battery cathode composites for robotic electrochemical energy storage. Experimental results demonstrate a 40% increase in operational times and 3× faster charging speed, offering a high-energy-density solution strategies with wide-temperature applicability for next-generation mobile robots
