Seminars & Colloquiums

Box lunch will be arranged. Please register by 11 May, 12 noon at:  https://forms.gle/ABEV9hL7nuLZsW396   Abstract: Modeling of a liquid jamming system involves modeling the Peltier behavior, thermoelectric modeling of the cooling system, heat transfer behavior of the jamming liquid and the control system. An analytical solution to the problem is challenging due to the […]

Abstract: The design of a universal gripper based on the principle of liquid jamming is presented. The phase- change behavior of a mineral oil subjected to cooling is used for adaptive gripping and release of odd-shaped objects. The mineral oil is enclosed in a soft, compliant membrane molded into a spherical shape. The membrane easily […]

The intricate design and sensing capabilities of human hand has inspired researchers to reproduce robotic grippers that strive to incorporate similar biological features. To date, numerous grippers have been developed in both commercial and academic research, traditionally using a combination of alloys and metals. In the alternate paradigm, mechanically softer robotic grippers have been developed […]

Abstract Conventional digital processors based on the von Neumann architecture have an intrinsic bottleneck in data transfer between processing and memory units. This constraint increasingly limits performance as data sets continue to grow exponentially for the various applications, for example, IoT, AR/VR wearables, automotive and robotics applications. TetraMem addresses this issue by delivering state-of-the-art in-memory […]
