A significant portion of energy losses in global energy consumption is due to friction and wear. Tribology, the science of friction, lubrication, and wear, aims to reduce such losses by developing smarter engineering solutions and design approaches. Modeling wear processes...

Predicting the propagation of shock waves in tunnel-like structures is crucial for various engineering applications, including supersonic flight, blast protection, and underground explosions. However, the predictive tools currently available to engineers remain limited in their ability to accurately capture the...

Robotic systems are increasingly used in high-stakes domains that demand precision and safety, with surgical robotics serving as a prominent example. In surgical robotics, technical proficiency is crucial to patient outcomes; however, surgeons’ training still relies on human instructors, which...

Robots are a key part of our future; they will need to be able to move and work in various environments and with changing interactions with objects and environment. A big part of today’s research focuses on different aspects of...
