Daniel and Ling presented at WAFR 2024!

Congratulations to Daniel Feshbach and Ling Xu for presenting their innovative research at the Workshop on the Algorithmic Foundations of Robotics (WAFR) in Chicago!

Daniel’s work, “Algorithmic Design of Kinematic Trees Based on CSC Dubins Planning for Link Shapes,” introduces a new approach for designing kinematic trees using Dubins path for robotic structures. Ling’s presentation, “Reparametrization of 3D CSC Dubins’ Paths Enabling 2D Search,” simplifies 3D paths, enabling faster robot planning.

Both are making exciting contributions to robotics!

Successful workshop at the Arts League

We held a workshop at the Arts League in West Philly to excite visitors about the Artists in Residency program with the Sung Robotics Lab. Attendees folded and assembled origami robots while learning about coding and mechanics.

Congratulations to Dr. Jessica Weakly for defending her thesis today!

Congratulations to Dr. Jessica Weakly on successfully defending her thesis, “Bistable Structures Enable Passive Transitions in Mobile Robots!” We’re all so proud of you, and we wish you continued success as you take the next steps in your career. Well done, Jessica!
Look forward to seeing Dr. Jessica Weakly more often, as she is set to join the UPenn MEAM department as a lecturer!
