MEAM Master’s Thesis Defense: “Optical Analysis of Buckling-Induced Micro-Robotic Membranes”

Levine 307 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

In recent years, micro-robotic membranes have attracted increasing interest due to their unique properties and potential applications in various fields. The optical properties of these membranes have been playing a crucial role in the design and development of optical devices such as reflective displays with customizable colors. The primary challenge to understanding the mechanical-spectral interaction […]

MEAM Master’s Thesis Defense: “Gaussian Process-Based Active Exploration Strategies in Vision and Touch”

Meyerson Hall, Room B2 210 S. 34th Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Robots struggle to understand object properties like shape, material, and semantics due to limited prior knowledge, hindering manipulation in unstructured environments. In contrast, humans learn these properties through interactive multi-sensor exploration. This work proposes fusing visual and tactile observations into a unified Gaussian Process Distance Field (GPDF) representation for active perception of object properties. While […]

MEAM Master’s Thesis Defense: “The Rheology and Microphysics of Monodisperse Synthetic Mucin”

Room 2C8, David Rittenhouse Laboratory Building 209 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Mucus, a complex fluid produced by every living organism, has multiple essential functions including acting as an effective barrier layer in various bodily processes, many of which involve important rheological (flow) and tribological (adhesive, lubricative) functions. The primary component of mucuses are mucins – highly glycosylated, linear polypeptides. Understanding how the structure and properties of […]

MEAM Master’s Thesis Defense: “Modeling Off-Grid Photovoltaics Integrated with Micro-Cogeneration and Electrical Energy Storage”

Room 2C6, David Rittenhouse Laboratory Building 209 S. 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Due to the elevated expenditure of fossil fuels and their adverse impacts on climate change resulting from greenhouse gas emissions, it is imperative to integrate clean energy sources alongside fossil fuels. This study presents the design, simulation, and optimization of an integrated system comprising solar photovoltaics, micro-cogeneration, and electrical energy storage to achieve energy self-sufficiency […]

Penn Engineering 2024 Commencement Open House

On Monday, May 20, 2024, from 12:15-2:15 p.m., Penn Engineering will host an Open House for the School’s returning graduates and their families throughout the first floors of the main Engineering complex, immediately following the University Ceremony. Included are photo booth opportunities, a t-shirt giveaway (including a live t-shirt press!), and light refreshments. Please join […]

MEAM MSE Thesis Defense: “Algorithmic Design of an Origami Squirrel-Inspired Paw for Quadrupedal Locomotion in Bar-like Terrains”

Levine 307 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

The Dynamic Origami Quadruped (DOQ), an origami quadrupedal robot, has been primarily utilized for hopping and walking on flat ground. However, adapting it walking on bar-like terrains presents significant challenges. Inspired by the Squirrel-inspired Rapid Tenodesis (SQRT) foot which is capable of passively grasping onto curved surfaces during perching, this thesis explores the integration of […]
