Thirty years ago, semiconductor manufacturers (wafer fabs) rolled their eyes and muttered under their breath when they heard the word MEMS.  Micro-Electromechanical Mechanical Systems are minute mechanical devices built on silicon integrated circuit wafers.  They are the microphones, gravity sensors, oscillators, motion sensors, electronic filters in your cell-phone – and more.  MEMS processes were “weird”.   […]

In many applications in robotics, there exist teams of robots operating in dynamic environments requiring the design of complex communication and control schemes. The problem is made easier if one assumes the presence of an oracle that has instantaneous access to states of all entities in the environment and can communicate simultaneously without any loss. […]

*This will be a HYBRID Event with in-person attendance in Wu & Chen Auditorium and Virtual attendance via Zoom Webinar here.  There have been significant advances in the field of robot learning in the past decade. However, many challenges still remain when studying how robot learning can advance interactive agents such as robots that collaborate […]
