    MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Multi-Robot Coordination and Cooperation via Graph-Based Computation”

    July 22, 2024 @ 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM /
    Levine 307 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Multi-robot coordination and cooperation are critical behaviors that improve team performance and enable new tasks in application areas like autonomous construction, agriculture, and extended operation in large unknown regions. This dissertation examines these behaviors in the context of the multi-robot resource allocation problem, where robots must be allocated to regions of demand. In particular, we […]

    ESE PhD Thesis Defense: “Aluminum Scandium Nitride Ultra-Wideband Resonator and Filter Systems”

    July 22, 2024 @ 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM /
    Room 35, Singh Center for Nanotechnology 3205 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Aluminum scandium nitride (AlScN), a ternary alloy by doping scandium into aluminum nitride (AlN), has circumspectly gained recognition through the last decade as one of the promised materials in forming the next generation radio frequency (RF) filters and resonators - core components in the wireless telecommunication systems that interconnect today’s world. This, coupled with the […]

    MEAM MSE Thesis Defense: “Algorithmic Design of an Origami Squirrel-Inspired Paw for Quadrupedal Locomotion in Bar-like Terrains”

    July 22, 2024 @ 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM /
    Levine 307 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    The Dynamic Origami Quadruped (DOQ), an origami quadrupedal robot, has been primarily utilized for hopping and walking on flat ground. However, adapting it walking on bar-like terrains presents significant challenges. Inspired by the Squirrel-inspired Rapid Tenodesis (SQRT) foot which is capable of passively grasping onto curved surfaces during perching, this thesis explores the integration of […]

    ESE Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Integrating graphene Hall sensors with co-designed silicon circuits for high-throughput magnetic biosensing”

    July 22, 2024 @ 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM /
    Auditorium, LRSM Building 3231 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    The limitations of silicon electronic devices increasingly constrain the performance of silicon integrated circuits (ICs) and their use in new applications. Next-generation devices with exceptional performance and new functionalities have been realized using two-dimensional materials such as graphene. For example, graphene Hall-effect sensors (GHSs) greatly outperform commercial silicon magnetic-field sensors and could significantly improve the […]

    MEAM Seminar: “Bio-inspired Architected Materials/Structures with Enhanced Failure Characteristics”

    July 23, 2024 @ 10:15 AM - 11:15 AM /
    Heilmeier Hall (Room 100), Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Structural failure is a critically important design consideration in many engineering applications. Nature provides a number of interesting examples of lightweight structural features that exhibit outstanding failure characteristics. Recent progress in additive manufacturing has facilitated precise control over geometric features, allowing for the implementation of bio-inspired structural designs on a layer-by-layer basis. In this talk, […]

    MEAM/MSE Special Seminar: “Starfish-Inspired Tubefeet for Temporary Underwater Adhesion”

    July 23, 2024 @ 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM /
    Towne 227 (MEAM Conference Room) 220 S. 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Temporary and switchable underwater adhesion plays an important role in robotic underwater locomotion and transportation. The physical features of the suction cups of octopuses have been mimicked, where the vacuum chamber formed by the deformation of these cups enable strong adhesion. However, the works mainly focused on the strength of the underwater adhesion. For the […]

    Bipedal robots have seen significant interest from academia and industry for their potential to efficiently traverse unstructured environments, such as disaster zones, industrial infrastructure, and cluttered homes. Autonomous bipedal walking in the wild remains an unsolved challenge, however, partially due to the difficulty of perceiving and reacting to obstacles in real-time, while maintaining balance. Existing […]

    MEAM Seminar: “Soft Pneumatic Force Application through Membrane Design and Stiffness Control”

    August 6, 2024 @ 10:15 AM - 11:15 AM /
    Towne 337

    Modern robotic platforms are designed for precision, but their cost and rigidity make them impractical for many at-home physical human-robot interaction (pHRI) applications. Soft pneumatic actuators (SPA) have potential as safe and affordable means of providing comfortable force application for use in pHRI, but lack shape planning and control during contact. In this seminar, we […]
