…procedural skills, including laparoscopy, robotics and endoscopy. “In medicine today, there is an increasing use of ultrasound beyond radiology,” said Mandel. “It is a critical tool used in many standard-of-care procedures. Ultrasound serves the dual role of teaching anatomy, but also as a point-of-care device for placing central lines, draining…

…more reliable communications, remote-sensing, robotics and safety-critical systems. “My point of view is that information is a physical quantity and there are different mathematical models through which it can be described,” said Franceschetti. “The traditional one is probabilistic and can be used to study average—or in other words—expected behaviors. An…

…many years. Jacobs School robotics engineer Eric Lo conducted a drone flight following a pre-programmed pattern taking thousands of high-resolution images. A ground-based LIDAR (light detection and ranging) survey examined the exterior geometry of the building, and GPS sensors on top and off of the library were referenced to measure…
