In a recent @BuiltIn interview, Prof. Nadia Figueroa delves into the game-changing role of #industrialrobots in revolutionizing manufacturing. She emphasizes their strength, speed, and accuracy while shedding light on safety measures.

My lab is recruiting multiple Ph.D. students, focused on achieving dexterous robotic manipulation using only seconds to minutes of data. We're excited about both model-based and learned approaches that leverage physics. Apply to Penn in MEAM/ESE/CIS by December 1st!
