EI Conference
15/03/2023: Only 7 days left to the 3rd annual International Conference on Embodied Intelligence (March 22-24th).
The conference in held online and attendance is free with registration. Prof. Petersen will be chairing the second half of the first day.
Hope to see you there!
Nat Comms
20/2/23: Very excited to announce that Drs Ceron and O’Keeffe’s work on “Diverse Behaviors in Non-Uniform Chiral and Non-Chiral Swarmalators” was just published in Nature Communications today!
Addendum 7/3/2023: The article was just featured in the Applied Physics and Mathematics section of the Editor’s Highlights.
AISYS
21/1/23: Very excited to announce that our work on Harnessing Nonuniform Pressure Distributions in Soft Robotic Actuators was published in the Journal for Advanced Intelligent Systems today. It is also slated to appear on the inside cover of the next issue!
If you’re not up for the technical article, there’s an excellent summary in the Cornell Chronicle as well.
This was collaborative effort by Gregory Kaiser (MEng’21), Dr Yoav Matia, Prof Amir Gat, Prof. Robert Shepherd, and Prof. Nathan Lazarus.
