State-of-the-Art Review of Adaptive Structures in Japan

这一最先进的调查奖将派遣杜克大学的Senol Utku博士前往日本，对日本在自适应结构方面的最新发展进行调查。Utku博士将首先出席在名古屋举行的第二届日美适应性结构联合会议，然后花一周时间参观致力于适应性结构及其控制的相关日本工业和学术研究机构，最后出席在大阪举行的智能机器人和系统国际研讨会。探讨自适应结构作为机械机械手在空间建设中的应用。

This State-of-the-Art survey award will send Dr. Senol Utku, of Duke University, to Japan to do a survey of recent Japanese developments in adaptive structures. Dr. Utku will first attend the Second Joint Japan-U.S. Conference on Adaptive Structures at Nagoya, then spend a week visiting related Japanese industrial and academic research institutions working on adaptive structures and their control, and finally attend the International Workshop on Intelligent Robots and Systems, in Osaka, to discuss the use of adaptive structures as mechan- ical manipulators in space construction.
