SUMMARY:MEAM Seminar: "The Role of Manipulation Primitives in Building Dexterous Robotic Systems"
DESCRIPTION:In this talk I will illustrate four different perspectives that we as a community have embraced to study robotic manipulation: 1) controlling a simplified model of the mechanics of interaction with an object; 2) using haptic feedback such as force or tactile to control the interaction with an environment; 3) planning sequences or trajectories of manipulation actions to achieve long-horizon goals; and 4) using visual cues to guide manipulation actions. These are complementary perspectives\, and building general dexterous robotic manipulation systems requires integrating them. I will discuss the key role that manipulation primitives play at integrating these perspectives. In particular I will present recent work on tactile dexterity to embed tactile feedback into the mechanics models of frictional contact\, and on planning with visual affordances to execute dexterous long-term behavior on novel objects. I will illustrate this work in the context of a dual-arm dexterous robotic system.

SUMMARY:CBE Seminar: "No Equations\, No Variables\, No Space\, No Time: Data and the Modeling of Complex Systems”
DESCRIPTION:Abstract \nObtaining predictive dynamical equations from data lies at the heart of science and engineering modeling\, and is the linchpin of our technology. In mathematical modeling\, one typically progresses from observations of the world (and some serious thinking!) first to equations for a model\, and then to the analysis of the model to make predictions. Good mathematical models give good predictions (and inaccurate ones do not)\, but the computational tools for analyzing them are the same: algorithms that are typically based on closed form equations. \nWhile the skeleton of the process remains the same\, today we witness the development of mathematical techniques that operate directly on observations data\, and appear to circumvent the serious thinking that goes into selecting variables and parameters and deriving accurate equations. The process then may appear to the user a little like making predictions by “looking in a crystal ball”. Yet the “serious thinking” is still there and uses the same – and some new – mathematics: it goes into building algorithms that jump directly from data to the analysis of the model (which is now not available in closed form) so as to make predictions. Our work here presents a couple of efforts that illustrate this ”new” path from data to predictions. It really is the same old path\, but it is traveled by new means. \n

SUMMARY:BE Seminar: "Dynamics of 3D Cell Migration and Organ Formation" (Kenneth Yamada)
DESCRIPTION:This event will be held virtually on zoom – link coming soon. \nReal-time microscopy of the dynamics of cells and tissues in 3D environments is opening new windows to understanding the biophysical mechanisms of complex biological processes. Direct visualization is allowing us to explore fundamental questions in more depth that include: How do cells migrate in 3D? How do cancer cells invade? How is the extracellular matrix assembled? How are organs formed?  Visualizing how cells move and organize into tissues is not only providing descriptive insights\, but is also leading to the identification of novel\, unexpected physical and mechanical mechanisms relevant to tissue engineering. Cells can use varying combinations of cell adhesion to adjacent cells and to the surrounding extracellular matrix with localized cellular contractility to migrate\, invade\, and produce the complex tissue architecture needed for organ formation.
