Robotic systems, particularly at small scales, require efficient actuation and sensing solutions that maintain compactness. We are interested in systems where sensing and actuation are seamlessly integrated, specifically using impedance-related […]
This will be an in-person event only with attendance in Levine 307. This seminar will NOT be recorded. ABSTRACT Autonomous AI agents are deployed in increasingly complex and uncertain environments […]
Accurate simulations of physical phenomena governed by partial differential equations (PDEs) are foundational to scientific computing. While traditional numerical methods have proven effective, they remain computationally intensive, particularly for complex, […]
This will be a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 512 and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT Our group's goal is to build a world simulator from visual observations […]
Modern computing and communication technologies, such as supercomputers and the internet, are based on optically-linked networks of information processors operating at microwave frequencies. An analogous architecture has been proposed for […]
Team theory is a mathematical formalism for decentralized stochastic control problems in which a “team,” consisting of a number of members, cooperates to achieve a common objective. It was developed […]
This will be a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT The lack of large robotics datasets is arguably the most important obstacle […]
Large language models (LLMs) have advanced the frontiers of AI reasoning: they can synthesize information from multiple sources, derive new conclusions, and explain those conclusions to their users. However, LLMs […]
This will be a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT Construction remains one of the least automated industries, struggling with labor shortages, […]
Abstract: Societies have prospered using a linear “take-make-use-dispose” approach, extracting natural resources to make products, using them, and ultimately discarding them or their residues. This unsustainable approach has exploited natural […]
