Spring 2023 GRASP on Robotics: Emilio Frazzoli, ETH Zürich, “A self-contained karma economy for socially efficient and equitable autonomy”

Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA

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 Autonomous systems of the near future have the potential to impact and improve our lives in unprecedented ways. As an example, an autonomous taxi service can be instructed […]

BE Seminar: “Vein-to-Vein Microfluidic Engineering for Cell Therapies” (Abe Lee, UC Irvine)

Glandt Forum, Singh Center for Nanotechnology 3205 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA

Adoptive cell therapy (ACT) is a type of immunotherapy that involves the processing of blood from a donor to isolate immune cells (e.g. T cells) for genetic manipulation followed by reinfusion of the cells into patients. Specifically for CAR T cell therapy, genetic coding material (e.g. DNA, mRNA) is inserted into the T cells to […]

MEAM Seminar: “Additive Manufacturing: Future of Healthcare”

Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA

Personalized medicine as an emerging solution for health problems is leveraged by advanced manufacturing technologies. Personalized medical devices, tissue grafts, biomonitoring systems, and precision medicine are customized based on each patient’s needs and health background. However, the current manufacturing techniques are challenged when it comes to fabricating architected structures with complex designs. Additive manufacturing has […]

MSE Seminar: “VdW Heterostructures: A New Route to Designing Quantum Material” (Princeton University)

Glandt Forum, Singh Center for Nanotechnology 3205 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA

From superconductivity to fractionalized particles, fascinating phenomena arise in quantum materials due to the collective behaviors of electrons. These quantum effects challenge our understanding of nature and open up new possibilities for future technologies in quantum information. In my talk, I will discuss the use of van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures to create new quantum […]

Future Leaders in Mechanobiology: Avilash Singh Yadav (Cornell)

Zoom

Launched in May 2021, the Future Leaders in Mechanobiology is a monthly seminar series featuring up-and-coming leaders in mechanobiology–PhD students and postdocs from a wide range of fields, backgrounds, and institutions. By providing an international stage to share one’s work and opportunities to interact with researchers at all career stages, we aim to create an inclusive and […]

ASSET Seminar: Automated Decision Making for Safety Critical Applications, Mykel Kochenderfer (Stanford University)

Levine 307 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA

ABSTRACT: Building robust decision making systems for autonomous systems is challenging. Decisions must be made based on imperfect information about the environment and with uncertainty about how the environment will evolve. In addition, these systems must carefully balance safety with other considerations, such as operational efficiency. Typically, the space of edge cases is vast, placing a large […]

Spring 2023 GRASP SFI: Michael Chang, University of California, Berkeley, “Neural Software Abstractions: Learning Abstractions for Automatically Modeling and Manipulating Systems”

Levine 307 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA

This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance via Zoom. This week's presenter will be in-person as well. ABSTRACT While it is tempting to view robotics as a nail that can be solved with the deep learning hammer, we have seen that deep-learning based perception and action pipelines for […]

Spring 2023 GRASP on Robotics: John Suh, Hyundai New Horizons Studio, “Ultimate mobility vehicles or what happens when you combine robotics and car design”

Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA

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 New Horizons Studio is a team that is focused on the design, technology, and engineering of ultimate mobility vehicles. NHS believes that the combination of robotics and car […]
