PRECISE Seminar: Designing Computing Systems for Robotics and Physically Embodied Deployments
ESE Fall Seminar – “Tools for designing some exciting chips”
/
Berger Auditorium (Room 13), Skirkanich Hall
210 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
There is an enormous interest in developing customized, domain-specific systems-on-a-chip. Continued improvement in computing efficiency requires functional specialization of hardware designs. But designing complex chips is difficult. This talk presents […]
CBE Seminar: “Design of Solid-state Nanomaterials for Electrocatalysis: A Case Study of Oxygen Evolution Reaction Electrocatalysts” (Yang, UIUC)
/
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
High-level control of atomic and surface structures is a hallmark of the application of nanomaterials in a range of electrochemical and electrocatalytic devices, such as water electrolyzer. They play critical […]
LSRM Presents The Robert Maddin Lecture in Materials Science: “Active & Adaptive Matter Driving Cell Dynamics”
/
Glandt Forum, Singh Center for Nanotechnology
3205 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
Control of shape and movement is essential for cell physiology, from cell migration to control of tissue shape. The mechanical behaviors of living cells are controlled by materials constructed by […]
MEAM Seminar: “Defending the Planet: The DART Mission, and Mechanics Among the Asteroids”
/
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
An on-orbit demonstration of asteroid deflection is a key test of our ability to defend the planet from an incoming asteroid. The recent DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) mission was […]
ESE Fall Seminar – “Large Observational Study of the Causal Effects of a Nudge and the Geometry of Causality”
/
Glandt Forum, Singh Center for Nanotechnology
3205 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
Nudges are interventions promoting healthy behavior without forbidding options or significant incentives. As an example of a nudge, the Apple Watch encourages users to stand by delivering a notification if […]
ESE PhD Thesis Defense: “Control of Multi-Contact Systems via Local Hybrid Models”
/
Room 35, Singh Center for Nanotechnology
3205 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
For many important tasks such as manipulation and locomotion, robots need to make and break contact with their environment. Although such multi-contact systems are common, they pose a significant challenge […]
Fall 2023 GRASP Seminar: Paul Debevec, Eyeline Studios Powered by Netflix, “From Virtual Cinematographhy to Virtual Production”
/
Levine 307
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
*This seminar will be held in-person in Levine 307 as well as virtually via Zoom. The seminar will NOT be recorded. ABSTRACT This talk will describe how virtual cinematography techniques developed […]
ASSET Seminar: “Safety through Agility – Safe and Performant Control for Learning-Enabled Autonomous Systems” (Mangharam, Penn)
/
Levine 307
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
ABSTRACT: We present three approaches to combine formal methods, control theory, and machine learning for safe and performant autonomous systems. Safe control for learning-enabled systems: We present our recent progress […]
Fall 2023 GRASP SFI: Robert Baines, ETH Zürich, “Material system design for predictable shape-morphing robots”
/
Levine 307
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance on Zoom. This week's speaker will be virtual. ABSTRACT Robots are traditionally designed with immutable physical […]
MSE David P. Pope Distinguished Lecture: “Light, Materials and Interfaces: The Complex Dance That Allows CLIP-based 3D Printing,” Stanford University
/
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
Abstract The production of polymer products relies largely on age-old molding techniques. A major reason for this is that additive methods have not delivered meaningful alternatives to traditional processes—until now. […]
MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “A Study of Hydrogel Mechanics with Application on the Fracture of Human Blood Clots”
/
DRLB A6
209 S. 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
Loading of biological and synthetic hydrogels involves large deformations, and there exists a large literature devoted to their experimental characterization. Analytical investigations have recognized the importance of contributions originating from […]
