GANs for Everyone
Abstract: The power and promise of deep generative models such as StyleGAN, CycleGAN, and GauGAN lie in their ability to synthesize endless realistic, diverse, and novel content with user controls. Unfortunately, the creation and deployment of these large-scale models demand high-performance computing platforms, large-scale annotated datasets, and sophisticated knowledge of deep learning methods. This makes [...]

Design and control of insect-scale bees and dog-scale quadrupeds
Abstract: Enhanced robot autonomy---whether it be in the context of extended tether-free flight of a 100mg insect-scale flapping-wing micro aerial vehicle (FWMAV), or long inspection routes for a quadrupedal robot---is hindered by fundamental constraints in power and computation. With this motivation, I will discuss a few projects I have worked on to circumvent these issues in [...]

Dynamical Robots via Origami-Inspired Design
Abstract: Origami-inspired engineering produces structures with high strength-to-weight ratios and simultaneously lower manufacturing complexity. This reliable, customizable, cheap fabrication and component assembly technology is ideal for robotics applications in remote, rapid deployment scenarios that require platforms to be quickly produced, reconfigured, and deployed. Unfortunately, most examples of folded robots are appropriate only for small-scale, low-load [...]
