MEAM Seminar: “Biomimetic Design of Marine Robots and Sensors”
MEAM Seminar: “Biomimetic Design of Marine Robots and Sensors”
Inspiration from animal function can lead to effective design of engineered systems. Ocean systems benefit especially as operation in a heavy medium such as water imparts significant forces. We provide two examples of biomimetic design. In the first example, morphing fins inspired from tunas are used to dynamically change the directional stability qualities of rigid […]

MEAM Seminar: “From Mollusk Shells to Dense Architectured Materials to Granular Crystals: How Building Blocks and Weak Interfaces Create High Mechanical Performance”
Regular building blocks of controlled shape and size can be assembled to create fully dense “architectured” materials and structures. When the building blocks are very stiff and when they interact through much softer materials or even only by frictional contact, the blocks can slide, rotate, separate or interlock collectively, providing a wealth of tunable mechanisms, […]

GRASP on Robotics: Jing Xiao, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, “Perception-Action Synergy in Uncertain Environments”
GRASP on Robotics: Jing Xiao, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, “Perception-Action Synergy in Uncertain Environments”
Many robotic applications require a robot to operate in an environment with unknowns or uncertainty, at least initially, before it gathers enough information about the environment. In such a case, a robot must rely on sensing and perception to feel its way around. Moreover, it has to couple sensing/perception and motion synergistically in real time, […]

ESE Spring Seminar – “End-to-end Learning for Robust Decision Making”
ESE Spring Seminar – “End-to-end Learning for Robust Decision Making”
Because the physical world is complex, ambiguous, and unpredictable, autonomous agents must be engineered to exhibit a human-level degree of flexibility and generality — far beyond what we are capable of explicitly programming. Achieving such rich and intricate decision making requires rethinking the foundations of intelligence across all stages of the autonomous learning lifecycle. In […]

CBE PhD Dissertation Defense | “Understanding the relationship between clot contraction and platelet biology under hemodynamic conditions”
CBE PhD Dissertation Defense | “Understanding the relationship between clot contraction and platelet biology under hemodynamic conditions”
Abstract: "As thrombosis proceeds, platelets in a clot can expose phosphatidylserine (PS), providing a negatively charged surface for thrombin generation. These PS+ platelets have been shown to sort to the perimeter of platelet masses via platelet contraction. However, it remains unclear how thrombin and fibrin affect PS+ platelet sorting within a clot. We used an […]

Abstract: "Hemostatic clots have a core/shell hierarchy comprised of a P-selectin positive core surrounded by a P-selectin negative shell. A new human blood microfluidic assay utilizing a 2-stage assay was developed to interrogate core/shell mechanics. By first perfusing whole blood over a collagen/TF surface and then swapping out the blood for buffer, we were able […]

MEAM Seminar: “The Statistical Mechanics of Granular Clogging”
MEAM Seminar: “The Statistical Mechanics of Granular Clogging”
The gravity-driven flow of grains from a hole in a hopper is an iconic granular phenomenon. It’s different from a fluid in that the rate is independent of fill height, and more spectacularly so in that it can suddenly and unexpectedly clog. How does the susceptibility to clogging decrease with increasing hole size, and is […]

MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Metal and Air Generate Power for Robots”
MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Metal and Air Generate Power for Robots”
In many cases, the size and weight of energy storage technologies required to power robotic systems are too large or massive for a robot to carry, leading to limited operational times and long recharging times over which the robot remains unused. Computer-free autonomous decision making based on environmental cues provides exciting alternatives to classic control […]

MEAM Seminar: “Exploiting Environmental Fields for Orienteering and Planning Problems”
Robots are increasingly being used to complete tasks in complex environments.

Given only a single picture, people are capable of inferring a mental representation that encodes rich information about the underlying 3D scene. We acquire this skill not through massive labeled datasets of 3D scenes, but through self-supervised observation and interaction. Building machines that can infer similarly rich neural scene representations is critical if they are […]
