MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “The Design of a Community-Informed Socially Interactive Humanoid Robot and End-effectors for Novel Edge-Rolling”

Room 337, Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

This dissertation discusses my work in building an HRI platform called Quori and my once separate now integrated work on a manipulation method that can enable robots like Quori, or any more capable robot, to move large circular cylindrical objects. Quori is a novel, affordable, socially interactive humanoid robot platform for facilitating noncontact human-robot interaction […]

MEAM Seminar: “Motion Planning for a Variable Topology Truss Robot”

Towne 313 220 S. 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Variable Topology Trusses (VTTs) are a new type of modular, self-reconfigurable robot (MSRR). Like other self-reconfigurable robot systems, a VTT can change its shape to adapt to a variety of tasks, offering a wider range of capabilities than a single robot configuration. While most MSRRs consist of robot modules that are connected in a chain […]

Title: Designing Hyaluronic Acid Granular Hydrogels for Biomaterials Applications Date: Friday, July 29th, 2022 Time: 12pm ET Location: John Morgan Building, Class of 62 Auditorium, 3620 Hamilton Walk, Philadelphia, PA 19104. The public is […]

MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Imperfect Adhesion Between Elastic Solids”

Room 337, Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Surface force-mediated adhesion, i.e. via van der Waals forces, is critical for the direct bonding of bulk solids in the absence of an adhesive layer. However, no two surfaces are perfectly flat nor conformal and some have intentional patterns, which leads to imperfect adhesion, i.e. interface adhesion strength that is below its ideal strength. In […]

MEAM Seminar: “Neural Network Assisted Open Boundaries for Molecular Dynamics Simulations”

Towne 313 220 S. 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Molecular dynamics simulations allow for the visualization and analysis of atoms and molecules. The choice of boundary conditions in these simulations can impact the overall system, and is an important design decision. In particular, open boundary molecular dynamics simulations is one type of methodology that allows for the treatment of atomistic models with non equilibrium […]
