5th Annual Learning for Dynamics & Control Conference
Over the next decade, the biggest generator of data is expected to be devices that sense and control the physical world. The explosion of real-time data that is emerging from the physical world requires a rapprochement of areas such as machine learning, control theory, and optimization. While control theory has been firmly rooted in the […]

June 12, 2023 -MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “High Performance Electroadhesives for Materials and Robots with Electroprogrammable Stiffness”
MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “High Performance Electroadhesives for Materials and Robots with Electroprogrammable Stiffness”
Materials with electroprogrammable stiffness and adhesion can enhance the performance of robotic systems, including prosthetics, medical devices, wearables, exoskeletons, and grippers. However, achieving large changes in stiffness and adhesive forces in real time is an ongoing challenge. Electroadhesive clutches can rapidly adhere high stiffness elements, although their low force capacities, high activation voltages, and inability […]

Department of Bioengineering Juneteenth Address: “A White Neighbor, a Black Surgeon, and a Mormon Computer Scientist Walk into a Bar…” (Kevin B. Johnson)
“A White Neighbor, a Black Surgeon, and a Mormon Computer Scientist Walk into a Bar…” As we recognize Juneteenth, a holiday that brings awareness to what journalist Corey Mitchell calls “…a complex understanding of the nation’s past”, we also need to understand how many of our neighbors, staff, and faculty—even those born in the last […]

June 16, 2023 -MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Photophoretic Light-flyers for Mesospheric Applications”
MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Photophoretic Light-flyers for Mesospheric Applications”
The Earth’s mesosphere plays a crucial role in weather forecasting, environmental conservation, and planetary exploration. However, traditional unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) such as balloons or spacecraft face significant challenges when attempting to access this layer. Balloons and airplanes struggle due to the low pressure, while satellites encounter high aerodynamic drag. To overcome these limitations, we […]
