Abstract: My lab creates medical robots not only for minimally invasive surgery, but also for targeted drug delivery and for tissue regeneration. This talk will describe three of our technologies. The first consists of tetherless robots that are powered, controlled and imaged using an MRI scanner. These devices vary from patient-mounted needle-driving robots to capsules […]
The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), popularly known as drones, will be an integral component of emerging smart city applications ranging from delivery of goods to flying taxis. However, a seamless deployment of such drone-based applications requires addressing technical challenges across communications, security, autonomy, and control. In this talk, we focus on the wireless […]
Memory systems are on the verge of a renaissance: Scalable, persistent main memories (e.g., Intel’s 3DXPoint) are the first new technology to enter the upper layers of the memory hierarchy in 50 years. They bring a fundamentally new capability (i.e., persistence), a dramatic increase in capacity, and an array of complications (e.g., asymmetric read and […]
