Making robots more capable, agile, and efficient requires careful design of the robot’s mechanical body to match task requirements. Passive components allow a robot to perform a task without a […]
Legged robots, robotic manipulators, and their combined embodiment as humanoid robots have received considerable attention across both academia and industry. However, with few notable exceptions, state-of-the-art demonstrations are significantly less […]
Photoluminescent point defects, or color centers, in wide-bandgap semiconductors are important platforms for quantum information science because they can be operated as solid-state quantum spin-light interfaces. Implementing so-called defect qubits […]
Patient-specific computational modeling and simulation has become a routine part of cardiovascular clinical research. These techniques leverage medical imaging to construct subject-specific models that can be used to study disease […]
The field of robotic manipulation is attempting to expand from structured warehouse and lab environments to in-the-wild applications in human-centric settings. When deployed in novel settings, a robot may see […]
The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Yale Cohen are pleased to announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Sereen Assi. Title: Harnessing the Regenerative Characteristics of […]
The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Mike Mitchell are pleased to announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Rebecca Haley. Title: Lipid Nanoparticles allow Intracellular Protein Delivery for […]
Robotic mission planning in uncertain environments remains a formidable challenge due to environmental complexity and sensor noise. This dissertation introduces new methodologies to tackle these issues. We develop a method […]
Ferroelectric properties were initially discovered in perovskite-structured materials over a century ago. However, it was only in the last two decades that these properties were confirmed in fluorite-structured doped HfO2 […]
This seminar will be held in-person in Wu and Chen as well as virtually via Zoom. ABSTRACT Since its inception, Robotics has constantly used technological developments to address new customer […]
The pressing issues of global warming and the rapid depletion of fossil fuel reserves have prompted both private and governmental organizations to seek clean, renewable energy alternatives. Solar and wind […]
Data is necessary to improve our understanding of dynamic environments, like the ocean. With limited sensing resources, the challenge lies in identifying and acquiring sensor measurements over large spatial and […]
