Robots are traditionally designed with fixed physical hardware and control policies that make them specialized for repetitive tasks and structured environments. This talk discusses foundational work toward robots that "evolve on demand," morphing their bodies and adapting their behaviors to accommodate multiple tasks in diverse environments. First, I will introduce robotic structures made from stiffness-changing […]
TITLE: The quantum properties of molecular interfaces Abstract: Weakly bonded interfaces composed by molecular and solid-state inorganic materials give rise to a rich variety of nuclear motion and tunable nuclear structure that is tightly connected to diverse electronic properties in these systems. In my talk, I will discuss how we push the limits of density-functional […]
Surgical Data Science aims to improve the quality of interventional healthcare and its value through the capture and analysis of data. The operating room has long been siloed from in-depth review and analysis, but recent advances in computer vision and surgical robotics offer the promise of improved understanding and prediction of intraoperative events. However, challenges […]
