This device improves wrist function while ensuring patient comfort by dynamically stretching the joint as the child is falling asleep using a specialized motorized system. The prize includes $10,000 in cash + $15,000 in legal, accounting, and strategy services. (3/3)

Using their expertise in robotics, medical devices, and mechatronics, they created a patient responsive wrist orthotic for the treatment of spasticity in children with cerebral palsy. (2/3)

The @Wharton School of the Univ. of Pennsylvania announced MAR Designs won the Innovation Award in the 2020 Startup Challenge. MAR Designs was founded by Scalar lab member Ariella Mansfield @AriellaMans, & @GRASPlab members Rebecca Li @rmli_ & Michael Sobrepera @mjsobrep. (1/3)

@kodlab Archimedes discovered displacement of an object in fluid can be used to calculate density! The principle of buoyancy is important in #marinerobotics.

We mentioned a little of why we dig Archimedes, but we'd love to hear from you too! What's exciting about Archimedes' work and life that still resonates for you today? #RealLifeInfluencers

ScalAR lab group meetings still going as good ever!

Congratulations Kod*lab PhD Student Abriana Stewart-Height on being awarded a 2020 NSF Graduate Fellowship!!! Video: Abriana tests @MSIchicago's RHex robot for use in the feature @Lapsis_film, while training research assistant Shri Puthige on it. @NSFGRFP @GRASPlab @PennEngineers

Friend of ScalAR lab @GedaliahKnizhn1 (@ModLabUPenn lab member) was featured on TechXplore for his work on designing low-cost aquatic boats which he tested in our tank! techxplore.com/news/2020-02-m…

Excited to launch the inaugural AI4ALL@GRASP! We are currently accepting Philadelphia-area 9th and 10th graders for our 2-week program (travel stipend included). grasp.upenn.edu/programs/AI4AL…

An Eye on Advanced Robotics by @PennEngineers link.medium.com/IKDV0RDid1 featuring GRASP PhD student, Kendall Queen.

Congrats to ScalAR lab member Ariella Mansfield!

ScalAR Lab will have 3 presentations at NERC: Ariella Mansfield - Control of a Microrobot Using External Magnetic Fields, Tahiya Salam - Heterogeneous Multi-Robot Systems for Modeling, Xi Yu - Synthesizing Time-Varying Communication Networks with Provable Guarantees

In honor of a conference with 18 distinguished speakers, 17 of which are men, I'll be mentioning one female robotics faculty a day. Lets see how long I can go. In no particular order:

Presenters for GRASP Industry are ready to go - Tahiya Salam @LabScalAR, Jake Welde, Matt Malencia and Jimmy Paulos, @vijay_r_kumar group.

👇Check out these inspiring women in robotics! A special congrats to @aprorok for this very well-deserved highlight 👏👏

We are excited to host Sandeep Manjanna @ManjannaSandeep for the @GRASPlab Special Seminar on October 10 at 11 AM in PERCH West Conference Room! His talk will be on using reinforcement learning for efficient sampling in large-scale outdoor environments. grasp.upenn.edu/events/sandeep…

Informal blog post introducing some of the broad robotics challenges we faced at the #SubTChallenge. This will be a short series of posts that touch on how we did certain things, what worked well, and what did not. arcadianvisions.com/blog/2019/subt…

Catch Dhanushka tomorrow at the 2019 SIAM Conference on Dynamical Systems from 2:15 - 2:35. He will be giving a talk about data driven approaches developed in our lab for sampling and prediction of dynamic processes. For more information visit meetings.siam.org/sess/dsp_talk.…

Fantastic start to Day 2 at #ICRA2019 with a talk by @vijay_r_kumar on opportunities + challenges for aerial #robots @GRASPlab

Tahiya will be presenting her work on Adaptive Sampling and Tracking with #Robot Teams at #ICRA2019 tomorrow. Check out her poster at Pod 3 from 11:30 - 12:45! Here's the accompanying RA-L paper: scalar.seas.upenn.edu/wp-content/upl…
