Towne 337Multi-robot coordination and cooperation are critical behaviors that improve team performance and enable new tasks in application areas like autonomous construction, agriculture, and extended operation in large unknown regions. This […]
MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Design and Self-Reconfiguration Planning for Variable Topology Truss Robots”
Room 337, Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesA modular self-reconfigurable robot (MSRR) is a set of robotic building blocks that can be connected together in different ways. By rearranging these connections, the robot can adapt its shape […]
MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Adding Actuation to Found Material: A Design Methodology”
Levine 307 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesEngineers in modern society are taught to design and build structures and robots from pre-processed materials, giving them the ability to describe the operating capacity of their structure with a […]
MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Data-Driven Model Discovery for Non-Equilibrium Phenomena: Unraveling Continuum Behavior from Stochastic Dynamics”
Towne 307 220 S. 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesNon-equilibrium phenomena are ubiquitous across material systems and of great technological relevance. Examples of such phenomena include diffusion processes in liquid and gases, viscoelasticity and plasticity in solids, and rheological […]
