Biography

Professor Yun-Hui Liu received the B. Eng. degree in Applied Dynamics from Beijing Institute of Technology, China, in 1985, the M. Eng. degree in Mechanical Engineering from Osaka University, Osaka, Japan, in 1989, and the Ph.D. degree in Mathematical Engineering and Information Physics from the University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan, in 1992.

He worked at the Electrotechnical Laboratory, MITI, Tsukuba, Japan, from 1992 to 1995. Since February 1995, he has been with The Chinese University of Hong Kong and is currently a Professor with the Department of Mechanical and Automation Engineering. Dr. Liu is also a ChangJiang Professor with the National University of Defense Technology and the director of the Joint Center for Intelligent Sensing and Systems of The Chinese University of Hong Kong. He has published over 100 papers in refereed journals and refereed conference proceedings. His research interests include robot control, multirobots systems, multi-fingered robotic hands, mobile robots, virtual reality, Internet-based robotic systems, and machine intelligence.

Dr. Liu was the recipient of the 1994 and 1998 Best Paper Awards from the Robotics Society of Japan and Best Conference Paper Awards (the first place in 2003 and the third place in 2000) of the IEEE Electro/Information Technology Conference. He was an Associate Editor of IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON ROBOTICS. He is the general chair of the 2006 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS).

Prof. Liu is a senior member of IEEE, a member of the Robotics Society of Japan, and a member of the Society of Instrument and Control Engineers.
