    Speaker: Feifei Qian, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Southern California

    Talk Title: Generating Desired Robot Movements from Complex Environments

    Series: Center for Cyber-Physical Systems and Internet of Things

    Abstract: Robots nowadays are expected to take on increasingly important roles in human society. However, state-of-the-art robots still struggle to move on natural terrains such as soft sand and rubble field, due to the lack of understanding of the interactions between robots and non-flat, non-rigid surfaces. In this talk, I will use a few examples from my recent work to illustrate how I use a "robophysics" approach -“ an integration of robotics, terradynamics, and locomotion biomechanics -- to create interaction models and frameworks that can guide design and control of bio-inspired robots to enable effective movements on challenging terrains.

    First, I will briefly review my previous work of modelling animal and robot locomotion on granular terrains such as sand, debris, and gravel, and discuss how legged locomotors could manipulate sand responses through adjustments in morphological parameters or contact strategy. These robot-sand interacting mechanisms have recently enabled development of desert-exploring robot assistants that can use their leg as soil strength sensors, and help human scientists generate erodibility maps by walking around the desert. I will then discuss my recent and on-going work on creating simplified representations for robot locomotion on perturbation-rich environments such as cluttered rubble field or fallen tree trunks, and demonstrate how a multi-legged robot could use different gait patterns to take advantage of obstacle collisions and generate desired motion under repeated disturbances. I will conclude with a vision of how these models and representations are leading to innovative strategies for environment-aided robot locomotion, better understandings of animal gait transition behaviors, and new cognitive workflows of human-robot collaborative explorations.


    Biography: Feifei Qian is an Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at USC. She received her PhD in Electrical Engineering and M.S. in Physics from Georgia Institute of Technology, in 2015 and 2011, respectively. Prior to her appointment at USC, she worked in the GRASP lab at University of Pennsylvania as a postdoctoral fellow. Her expertise is in analyzing and modeling the complex interactions between robots and environments, and developing innovative control and sensing strategies to improve robot mobility on challenging terrains. Her work has been featured in BBC News and R&D Magazine, and was awarded the best student paper of Robotics: Science & Systems.

  • AME Seminar

    Wed, Sep 16, 2020 @ 03:30 PM - 04:30 PM

    Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering

    Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars


    Speaker: Daniel Goldman, Georgia Tech

    Talk Title: TBD

    Abstract: Robots will soon move from the factory floor and into our lives (e.g. autonomous cars, package delivery drones, and search-and-rescue devices). However, compared to living systems, robot capabilities in complex environments are limited. I believe the mindset and tools of physics can help facilitate the creation of robust self-propelled autonomous systems. This robophysics approach -“ the systematic search for novel dynamics and principles in robotic systems -- can aid the computer science and engineering approaches which have proven successful in less complex environments. The rapidly decreasing cost of constructing sophisticated robot models with easy access to significant computational power bodes well for such interactions. Drawing from examples in the work of my group and our collaborators, I will discuss how robophysical studies have inspired new physics questions in low dimensional dynamical systems (e.g. creation of analog quantum mechanics and gravity systems) and soft matter physics (e.g. emergent capabilities in ensembles of active particles), have been useful to develop insight for biological locomotion in complex terrain (e.g. control targets via optimizing geometric phase), and have begun to aid engineers in the creation of devices that begin to achieve life-like locomotor abilities on and within complex environments (e.g. semi-soft myriapod robots).

    Biography: Dr. Daniel I. Goldman is a Dunn Family Professor in the School of Physics at the Georgia Institute of Technology and a Georgia Power Professor of Excellence. Prof. Goldman became a faculty member at Georgia Tech in January 2007. He is an adjunct member of the School of Biology and is a member of the Interdisciplinary Bioengineering Graduate Program.
    Prof. Goldman's research program broadly investigates the interaction of biological and physical systems with complex materials like granular media. In particular, he integrates laboratory experiment, computer simulation, and physical and mathematical models to discover principles of movement of a diversity of animals and robots in controlled laboratory substrates.
    He received his S.B. in physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1994. He received his PhD in Physics in 2002 from the University of Texas at Austin, studying nonlinear dynamics and granular media. From 2003-2007 he did postdoctoral work in the Department of Integrative Biology at UC Berkeley studying locomotion biomechanics.

    Prof. Goldman is a Fellow of the American Physical Society (2014), and has received an NSF CAREER/PECASE award, a DARPA Young Faculty Award, a Burroughs Wellcome Fund Career Award at the Scientific Interface, and the UT Austin Outstanding Dissertation in Physics (2002-2003).

  • USC MEGA Student Speaker Series

    Fri, Sep 18, 2020 @ 05:00 PM - 07:00 PM

    Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science

    Student Activity


    Next up in MEGA's Student Speaker Series is Sheehan Ahmed with Left On Read and the European Bug! Watch the live presentation on Zoom this Friday, September 18 at 5:00 PM PST to learn about Ahmed's experience as an engineer working on Left On Read, a choice-driven narrative platformer where you play as a college freshman texting your crush. During the creation of Left On Read, Ahmed and his team discovered a bug that only affected European players, leaving them hardstuck at the beginning of the game.

    Sheehan Ahmed is currently a sophomore at USC pursuing a degree in Interactive Media and Games. Released in May 2020 and with over 200,000 downloads, Left On Read is a quarantine-inspired game about the harsh realities of modern-age communication. Join us this Friday as we talk all about game programming and unravel the mystery behind the European bug! Have any questions for Sheehan? Stick around after the presentation for a quick Q&A session!
