MEAM Seminar: “Rapidly Understanding Novel Object Dynamics for Robotic Manipulation”
The field of robotic manipulation is attempting to expand from structured warehouse and lab environments to in-the-wild applications in human-centric settings. When deployed in novel settings, a robot may see and need to interact with a new object for the first time. Model-based control approaches rely on a priori dynamics models, an assumption that does […]

ESE Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Mobile Mission Planning in Uncertain Environments”
Robotic mission planning in uncertain environments remains a formidable challenge due to environmental complexity and sensor noise. This dissertation introduces new methodologies to tackle these issues. We develop a method for Linear Temporal Logic (LTL) planning, extending it to completely unknown environments to enable dynamic understanding and task fulfillment. Large language models (LLMs) are also […]

June 27, 2024 -ESE Seminar: “Fluorite and Wurtzite Structure Ferroelectrics. From Fundamentals to Semiconductor Applications”
ESE Seminar: “Fluorite and Wurtzite Structure Ferroelectrics. From Fundamentals to Semiconductor Applications”
Ferroelectric properties were initially discovered in perovskite-structured materials over a century ago. However, it was only in the last two decades that these properties were confirmed in fluorite-structured doped HfO2 and wurtzite-structured AlN films, respectively. The ferroelectricity in doped HfO2 or ZrO2 has been attributed to a previously unknown non-centrosymmetric orthorhombic Pca21 phase, while it […]

Summer 2024 GRASP on Robotics: Sami Atiya, ABB Ltd., “The Evolution of Robotics/AI: an Industry Perspective”
This seminar will be held in-person in Wu and Chen as well as virtually via Zoom. ABSTRACT Since its inception, Robotics has constantly used technological developments to address new customer needs. These developments have occurred in two areas: mechatronics and software & control. Mechatronic advances made robots stronger, faster, and more accurate. In parallel, software […]
