Congratulations to Brianna Leung for presenting her poster at the Biomedical Engineering Society’s (BMES) Annual Meeting in Maryland!
Brianna’s work “Mechanical characterization of an origami-inspired multistable tube for reconfigurable implants” introduces the design and characterization of an origami medical device. An exciting contribution to mechanics and bio-medical devices!
Our work was described in a NSF news article “Folding the future: The rise of origami-inspired robots.” Thank you to NSF for their generous support of our research.
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!
We are so excited that our technology is part of Penn’s Y-Prize this year! The Y Prize Kickoff & Info Session is scheduled for Monday, September 23, 2024, at 6:30 pm in Steinberg Hall – Dietrich Hall Room 351, with a reception to follow in Joe’s Cafe. Students can register and learn more about the competition at this link: https://yprize.upenn.edu/.
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.
