The pressure for Water Resource Recovery Facilities (WRRF) operators to efficiently treat wastewater is greater than ever because of the water crisis, produced by the climate change effects and more r…
Quadrupedal loco-manipulation is commonly built on visual perception and proprioception. Yet reliable contact-rich manipulation remains difficult: vision and proprioception alone cannot resolve uncert…
Wave-driven desalination systems are an innovative solution to the global freshwater crisis, leveraging the complementary characteristics of seawater reverse osmosis and wave energy converters. Howeve…
The growing number of wireless communication bands has driven demand for compact, low-loss, and frequency adjustable RF filtering. Tunable acoustic resonators are well suited to address these needs, o…
Origami-inspired robotic grippers have shown promising potential for object manipulation tasks due to their compact volume and mechanical flexibility. However, robust capture of objects with random sh…
Monitoring physical activity energy expenditure (PAEE) in daily life is essential for characterizing individual health and metabolic status. Although indirect calorimetry provides gold-standard PAEE m…
Navigating quadruped robots in unstructured 3D environments poses significant challenges, requiring goal-directed motion, effective exploration to escape from local minima, and posture adaptation to t…
As with every emerging technology, new tools in the hands of artists reshape the nature of artwork creation. Current frameworks for robotics in arts deploy the robot as an autonomous creator or a coll…
3D-printed artificial skins are a scalable approach to whole-body tactile and proximity coverage, but prior implementations have been limited to unimodal sensing and rigid materials. To improve the pr…
Collision-free motion is often aided by tactile and proximity sensors distributed on the body of the robot due to their resistance to occlusion as opposed to external cameras. However, how to shape th…
Monitoring sea states across the offshore wind farm areas is essential to keep their structures safe, efficiently operate the systems, and assess the environmental effects of wind turbines. Convention…
Reverse parking maneuvering of a vehicle with trailer system is a difficult task to complete for human drivers due to the multi-body nature of the system and the unintuitive controls required to orien…
Training machine learning models for robotic tactile sensing requires vast amounts of data, yet obtaining realistic interaction data remains a challenge due to physical complexity and variability. Sim…
The escalating climate crisis and ecosystem degradation demand intelligent, low-cost sensors capable of robust, long-term monitoring in real-world environments. Absolute dissolved oxygen (DO) concentr…
In this paper, we extend the recent Vector-Accelerated Motion Planning (VAMP) framework to multi-robot motion planning (MRMP). We develop two vector-accelerated primitives, multi-robot MotionValidatio…
Physics-aware symbolic simulation of 3D scenes is critical for robotics, embodied AI, and scientific computing, requiring models to understand natural language descriptions of physical phenomena and t…
Whole-body Positron Emission Tomography (PET) registration is essential for multi-parametric tumor characterization and assessment of metastatic disease progression. In deep learning-based deformable …
Computed tomography (CT)-based attenuation and scatter correction improves quantitative PET but adds radiation exposure that is particularly undesirable in pediatric imaging. Existing CT-free methods …
AI is increasingly used to accelerate engineering design by improving decision-making and shortening iteration cycles. Application to marine propeller design, however, remains challenging due to scarc…
Wheel-legged robots combine the efficiency of wheeled locomotion with the versatility of legged systems, enabling rapid traversal over both continuous and discrete terrains. However, conventional desi…
