Founded in 1979, the GRASP Laboratory is an interdisciplinary academic and research center, and premiere robotics incubator within Penn Engineering.
Joined September 2009
Mark Yim, Asa Whitney Professor of @MEAM_Penn, spoke at this year’s EmpathyTech event on engineering–nursing collaboration to address aging and community challenges. He called the experience “uplifting and inspiring,” noting the energy around innovating for underserved

🚨🚨🚨 New paper led by @ult_flymachine and @LarsLindemann2, with my student Eliot Shekhtman, on applying conformal prediction in interactive environments! Check out details in the quote tweeted thread below! 👇
@ult_flymachine just joined my new lab at ETH and directly dropped an absolute brick of a paper: https://t.co/NkzSFetMjn 🚀The paper addresses interaction-induced distribution shifts in interactive environments via iterative policy updates and adversarial conformal prediction.

As LLMs advance, researchers are testing how they interact with the physical world. Prof. @pappasg69 (@ESEatPenn, @MEAM_Penn, @cis_penn) said, “LLMs can now instruct robots on tasks,” but true autonomy will require learning through real-world interaction. https://t.co/dSpdZhGGA2
