By mirroring the success of biological systems, legged robots have the potential to be successful in almost every terrestrial environment. While legged machines have made significant advancements in the past 20 years, there still exists a considerable gap between what they can achieve and the abilities of animals. In this talk I’ll discuss some of […]

Many fluid problems of interest, such as turbulent flow over an airplane or transport processes in geophysical flows, contain wall-bounded regions that form boundary layers. Oftentimes, both numerical and experimental studies are simplified by using smooth surfaces. This simplification has allowed us to gain a greater understanding of near-wall processes for flows of engineering interest, […] |

This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Wu and Chen and virtual attendance via Zoom. This week's presenter will be in-person as well. ABSTRACT The Robotics Design Lab was founded in 2012 at the University of Queensland, Australia, and considers the holistic design of robots as a system. With the RDL Pauline […] |

“A White Neighbor, a Black Surgeon, and a Mormon Computer Scientist Walk into a Bar…” As we recognize Juneteenth, a holiday that brings awareness to what journalist Corey Mitchell calls “…a complex understanding of the nation’s past”, we also need to understand how many of our neighbors, staff, and faculty—even those born in the last […] |

Planning fast and autonomous robotic motion in unstructured, cluttered environments remains a core challenge of the robotics community. The robot’s motion must be agile and dynamic, operating near the limit of its physical capabilities, to reach its goal location as quickly as possible. Fast motion in turn creates a need for fast plan computation over […] |

Multi-robot coordination and cooperation are critical behaviors that improve team performance and enable new tasks in application areas like autonomous construction, agriculture, and extended operation in large unknown regions. This talk explores the utility of graph-based modeling and computational frameworks to improve the coordination and cooperation of multi-robot teams in a variety of problems. I […] |
