With the ever-increasing production of portable electronics, internet of things devices, electric vehicles, unmanned aerial vehicles, and other autonomous robotic systems comes an increasing demand for reliable, long-lasting, portable power sources. Portable electronic systems are often limited by the energy density of the batteries that power them, and these batteries typically take up a large […] |

The capability to predict high-Reynolds-number turbulent flows is essential for many natural and engineering flows such as external aerodynamics (wind turbines, aircraft wings), hydrodynamics (the hull of marine vehicles) and atmospheric boundary-layer flow over complex landscapes and cityscapes. However, due to extreme disparity of scales present in high-Reynolds-number wall-bounded turbulent flows, any attempt to simulate […] |

Personalized medicine requires the identification of disease-causing agents prior to prescribing therapy. Currently, molecular detection requires shipping bio samples to centralized laboratories. The time delay between sample collection and test results prevents health care givers from making timely, informed decisions. Furthermore, there is a shortage in centralized laboratories and trained technicians in resource poor settings […] |

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 […] |

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 […] |

With the global population projected to reach 9.1 billion people by 2050 there is a need to develop highly efficient agricultural systems that maximize crop yield. Precision Agriculture (PA) systems enabled by the Internet of Things (IoT) offer a potential solution through improvements in labor, resource, and time efficiency to improve agricultural output. PA systems […] |

Imperfect but useful dynamical models have enabled significant progress in planning and controlling robotic locomotion and manipulation. Traditionally, these models have been physics-based, with accuracy relying upon manual calibration only feasible in laboratory environments. As robotics expands into complex real-world applications, models must instead be automatically fit to limited data. One major challenge is modeling […] |

A modular self-reconfigurable robot (MSRR) is a set of robotic building blocks that can be connected together in different ways. By rearranging these connections, the robot can adapt its shape to address a wider variety of tasks than a robot with a fixed morphology. However, traditional modular architectures fail to scale up to address large-scale […] |
