Prof. Ho-Young Kim (South Korea) opened with a new bio inspired robotics paradigm where matter itself computes, demonstrating how physical intelligence—rooted in materials, geometry, and environmental interactions—can enable robots to perform complex tasks.
Assoc. Prof. Thanh Nho Do (Australia) introduced a patient-specific, beating soft artificial heart twin that replicates real cardiac motion, pressure, and blood flow, offering a new platform that helps clinicians select the right patients, test devices, and rehearse complex procedures with far greater accuracy.
Prof. Raymond Kai-Yu Tong (Hong Kong, China) brought Hand of Hope, a robotic exoskeleton that reads motor intention to retrain the brain, and XoMuscle, a soft, bioinspired artificial muscle, outlining a future where neuro-rehabilitation technologies and assistive robotics help restore movement with comfort and dignity.
Mr. Dzung-Do Nguyen (Vietnam) presented Enfarm’s AI-powered platforms—Enfarm App and Enfarm FM—which provide personalized recommendations and transparent ESG insights to help farmers and agribusinesses make smarter, more sustainable decisions.
From robotics and physical intelligence; regenerative medicine and soft artificial organs; neuro-rehabilitation technologies and assistive robotics; to digital agriculture empowered by artificial intelligence, the “Inspirational Talks: The Next Breakthrough” set an inspiration for the days ahead, reaffirming VinFuture’s commitment to advancing science for humanity.
