Towards haptic intelligence in robots by learning from demonstration by Turlapati Sri Harsha

“…In the first part of this thesis, we build on this latter idea of performing haptic exploration of surfaces with a focus on extracting the geometry of fine features. We propose a novel quantity, haptic mismatch that identifies and refines missing geometric features based on the discrepancy in force feedback from actual interactions with an object. …”

Tunable anti-ambipolar vertical bilayer organic electrochemical transistor enable neuromorphic retinal pathway by Laswick, Zachary, Wu, Xihu, Surendran, Abhijith, Zhou, Zhongliang, Ji, Xudong, Matrone, Giovanni Maria, Leong, Wei Lin, Rivnay, Jonathan

“…The vertical OECT design reduces device footprint, while the bilayer material tuning controls the anti-ambipolarity characteristics, allowing control of the device's on and off threshold voltages, and peak position, while reducing size thereby enabling tunable threshold spiking neurons and logic gates. Combining these components, a mimic of the retinal pathway reproducing the wavelength and light intensity encoding of horizontal cells to spiking retinal ganglion cells is demonstrated. …”
