Vision and contact dynamics are both heavily influenced by geometry, so why do we treat them as separate problems? By combining vision with physics, "Vysics," each informs the other and we generate accurate shape reconstructions despite major visual occlusions. vysics-vision-and-physics.github.io

I'm recruiting multiple Ph.D. students across all departments (ME, EE, or CS). Growing research projects focus on dexterous manipulation in novel settings, combining control and learning with visuotactile sensing and non-smooth dynamics. Deadline December 16 gradadm.seas.upenn.edu/doctoral/
