GRASP Faculty Dr. Antonio Loquercio's (@antoniloq) new course, Physical Intelligence, spent the semester training drones to race using reinforcement learning. The finals concluded with a 13 team drone race! Congratulations to the winners: Wenjing Mao and Yufeiyang Gao! #GRASPLab

Penn Engineering hosted “Responsive Materials Meet Intelligence,” a workshop led by @MSEatPenn and supported by @NSF that highlighted new advances in adaptive, smart materials. Shu Yang shared how geometric, nature-inspired design can strengthen materials, reduce waste, and

Two Penn Engineering researchers have received New Initiative grants from the Charles E. Kaufman Foundation (@PittsburghFdn). Nat Trask and Douglas Jerolmack were awarded $300,000 to advance research that integrates geophysics and machine learning to better understand how Earth

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
