    • MEAM Seminar: “Exploiting Environmental Fields for Orienteering and Planning Problems”

    /
    Zoom - Email MEAM for Link peterlit@seas.upenn.edu

    Robots are increasingly being used to complete tasks in complex environments. To complete these tasks, two of the most fundamental choices that the robot must make are (1) task planning: which tasks to complete and in what order, and (2) path planning: what path to take when navigating between those tasks. In this seminar, I […]

    GRASP on Robotics: Vincent Sitzmann, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, “Self-supervised Scene Representation Learning for Robotics”

    /
    Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Given only a single picture, people are capable of inferring a mental representation that encodes rich information about the underlying 3D scene. We acquire this skill not through massive labeled datasets of 3D scenes, but through self-supervised observation and interaction. Building machines that can infer similarly rich neural scene representations is critical if they are […]

    PICS Colloquium: “Transforming Healthcare from the Outside: the OBSERVER project”

    /
    PICS Conference Room 534 - A Wing , 5th Floor 3401 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    We live with a health care system that has evolved into an increasingly fragmented, primarily treatment-oriented, and now heavily burdened environment.  More importantly, issues related to privacy, space, and disease transmissibility have limited access to non-medical personnel who might offer creative, evidence-based, radical change to the health care system, as proposed years ago by the […]

    PSOC@Penn Seminar

    /
    Raisler Lounge (Room 225), Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Tedori-Callinan Distinguished Lecture: “Multiscale Hierarchical Modeling and Thermal Management of Electrification Technologies”

    /
    Zoom - Email MEAM for Link peterlit@seas.upenn.edu

    Core electrification technologies require developments in battery packs, chargers, electric motors, and thermal management strategies to improve their performance, longevity, reliability and safety. The next battery technology leap relies on novel thermal management strategies and packaging architectures, realized as intelligent battery thermal management systems (BTMS), which can optimally control the thermo-electrochemical phenomena occurring inside the […]

    ESE Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Extracting Generalizable Hierarchical Patterns of Functional Connectivity in the Brain”

    /
    Levine 307 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    The study of the functional organization of the human brain using resting-state functional MRI (rsfMRI) has been of significant interest in cognitive neuroscience for over two decades. The functional organization is characterized by patterns that are believed to be hierarchical in nature. From a clinical context, studying these patterns has become important for understanding various […]

    CEMB Future Leaders: “Plant homologs of PIEZO mechanosensitive ion channels localize to the tonoplast and affect vacuolar morphology”

    /
