PresentationAbstract
ProfXu will describe the fundamental challenges and opportunities in the emergingfield of soft robotics, with a focus on the robots his lab has developed toperform in vitro bio-mimic simulations of human digestion processes. He willpresent how soft robotic esophagus, stomach and tongue are specified, designedand developed, and showcase their real-life applications such as esophagealstent migration test, pharmaceutical drug’s swallowability study and opioiddrug’s chewing for drug release study. Prof Xu will also introduce theUniversity of Auckland for the purpose of encouraging potential students toapply for China Scholarship Council’s doctoral scholarship.
