2025 HITGSS: “Intelligent Robot” by the School of Mechatronics Engineering

From July 14th to 28th, the “Intelligent Robot” International Summer School, organized by the School of Mechatronics Engineering at Harbin Institute of Technology, was successfully held. Relying on the National Key Laboratory of Robotics and Systems, the program attracted a total of 79 students from prestigious universities, including Fudan University, Xi’an Jiaotong University, University of Science and Technology of China, South China University of Technology, Bauman Moscow State Technical University, Novosibirsk State Technical University, Yonsei University, and the National University of Mongolia.

Lectures

The summer school offered specialized courses taught by renowned experts in the field of intelligent robotics. Professor Kenneth Grattan, an Academician of the Royal Academy of Engineering and the President of the International Measurement Confederation, gave an engaging presentation on fiber-optic sensing technology in intelligent robotics. Other distinguished speakers included Academician Andreas Mandelis from the University of Toronto, Professor Bradley Nelson from ETH Zurich, Professor Zhirong Liao, who is an Associate Editor of the top-tier journal International Journal of Machine Tools and Manufacture, and researchers from HIT’s School of Mechatronics Engineering: Professors Hai Tao Yu, Junjie Zhang, Yingdan Wu, Shuai Yuan, and Jipeng Yan. These experts shared their insights into the cutting-edge technologies and the current developments in the field of intelligent robotics.

Themed Competition
