MEAM Seminar: “Mechanical Interfaces for Health: From Mechanobiology to Tactile Perception”
Our lab combines adhesion and tribology with modern polymers and surface coatings to understand soft interfaces in biology towards improving human health and accessibility. On the scale of cells, mechanical stiffness of cells and tissue can indicate diseases like fibrosis or osteoarthritis. On the scale of the human body, mechanical forces generated by friction form […]
Summer 2025 GRASP Seminar: Antonino Furnari, University of Catania, “Towards an Embodied Understanding of Human Behaviour with Egocentric Vision”
This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in AGH 306 and virtual attendance via Zoom. ABSTRACT The last few years are witnessing a major shift in the way we think of computing, with humans relying more and more on AI assistants which speak their language and understand images and videos. While this revolution has […]

June 18, 2025 -AI Across the Care Spectrum: From Bench to Bed (Webinar)
ESE Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Statistical Limits and Efficient Algorithms for Learning-Enabled Control”
As the adoption of large-scale learning for control continues to grow, developing sample-efficient algorithms has become critical. Yet, even in simple settings, algorithms achieving optimal sample complexity for specific problem instances often remain unknown. Motivated by this limitation, we discuss recent progress toward understanding sample-efficient methods in learning-enabled control. We first examine the statistical limits […]

June 20, 2025 -MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Elastomeric Strain Limitation for Design of Soft Pneumatic Actuators”
MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Elastomeric Strain Limitation for Design of Soft Pneumatic Actuators”
Modern robots embody power and precision control, yet as robots undertake tasks that apply forces on humans this power brings risk of injury. Soft robotic actuators use deformation to produce smooth, continuous motions and conform to delicate objects while imparting forces capable of safely pushing humans. This thesis presents strategies for the design, modeling, and […]
