The Epstein Family Amphitheater is a state-of-the-art performance venue in the heart of UC San Diego. The first in a series of transformational developments designed to create a grand entrance to the campus, the amphitheater invites all San Diegans to experience the unique interdisciplinary integration of art and entertainment, research and education that embodies the campus culture.
A new system of algorithms developed by UC San Diego engineers enables four-legged robots to walk and run on challenging terrain while avoiding both static and moving obstacles. The work brings researchers a step closer to building robots that can perform search and rescue missions or collect information in places that are too dangerous or difficult for humans.
As part of Triton Weeks of Welcome at UC San Diego, students were invited to join in a fall festival that included bungee jumping, beats by the campus’s Deejays and Vinylphiles Club (DVC), a photo booth, games like Guitar Hero, free food and and more.

On Sunday, Sept. 24 students were invited to “Meet the Beach,” an annual event hosted by Recreation to introduce new Tritons to the ocean adventures that await just a short walk from the campus. Activities ranged from surfing lessons and aerial silks to a “muscle beach” with weights and kayak tours.
Each year during Triton Weeks of Welcome, UC San Diego’s seven undergraduate colleges compete for the coveted Golden Shoe Trophy. They must excel in games such as sack races and an egg toss, as well as wow the judges in a choreographed dance.
