Dr. Mogas-Soldevila will give an overview on her DumoLab research at the Weitzman School of Design at Penn. Her works focuses on regenerative material practices bridging science, engineering, and the […]
This thesis addresses the challenges of model-based planning and control in legged locomotion, particularly the trade-off between computational speed and robot performance presented by different levels of model complexities. Full-order […]
The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Ophir Shalem are pleased to announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Henry Sanchez. Title: Pooled tagging of endogenous proteins for […]
The native extracellular microenvironment dynamically remodels as cells synthesize, assemble, and remodel their surroundings during tissue development, injury, and repair. In my research group, we use engineered systems to both […]
There is an enormous interest in developing customized, domain-specific systems-on-a-chip. Continued improvement in computing efficiency requires functional specialization of hardware designs. But designing complex chips is difficult. This talk presents […]
Control of shape and movement is essential for cell physiology, from cell migration to control of tissue shape. The mechanical behaviors of living cells are controlled by materials constructed by […]
An on-orbit demonstration of asteroid deflection is a key test of our ability to defend the planet from an incoming asteroid. The recent DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) mission was […]
Nudges are interventions promoting healthy behavior without forbidding options or significant incentives. As an example of a nudge, the Apple Watch encourages users to stand by delivering a notification if […]
For many important tasks such as manipulation and locomotion, robots need to make and break contact with their environment. Although such multi-contact systems are common, they pose a significant challenge […]
