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 […]
Efficient and resilient coordination among autonomous agents plays an important role in various domains such as energy management, robotic swarms, autonomous vehicles and beyond. As these systems grow in complexity and scale, the challenge of achieving optimal coordination becomes increasingly difficult. The first part of the talk will focus on tackling scalability issues by leveraging […]
Sepsis, a life-threatening syndrome arising from a dysregulated host response to infection, exhibits significant heterogeneity in clinical presentation and outcome. This complexity underscores the need for refined stratification strategies beyond traditional clinical parameters. This presentation will explore how the integration of multi-omic data (e.g., genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics) can be leveraged to identify distinct sepsis […]
