Congratulations to Bo!
 

ECE Faculty Bo Yuan received NSF CAREER Award

ECE Assistant Professor Bo Yuan is the recipient of a new NSF CAREER award for the project titled "CAREER: SHF: Chimp: Algorithm-Hardware-Automation Co-Design Exploration of Real-Time Energy-Efficient Motion Planning." Dr. Bo Yuan is the PI on this five-year $500,000.00 project.
     
As the fundamental and critical robotic task for planning and deciding the actions of robots, motion planning is widely desired in many real-world applications, such as autonomous driving, in-warehouse package handling, assisted surgery etc. To date, there exists an increasing performance gap between the intensive computation of modern motion planning workloads and the insufficient support from general-purpose hardware, calling for efficient hardware acceleration to realize real-time energy-efficient high-quality planning. This project proposes Chimp, a cross-layer co-design framework for highly efficient motion planning processor. Chimp aims to develop a new design paradigm that can efficiently integrate domain expertise into learning-based motion planning, improving the planning reliability and performance. This project will significantly promote the intelligence and durability of modern autonomous systems, enhancing the economic opportunities in many fields such as autonomous driving, smart manufacturing, and intelligent healthcare.

Congratulations to Bo!

Research Day 2022

After two years, ECE Research Day was finally back on Friday, December 16 and it was a great success. This event was an excellent opportunity for ECE students and ECE PostDoc Associates to present their research projects, share their creative ideas, and network with their peers. The 52 posters were presented by graduate and undergraduate students (including summer research, internships, and co-ops), covering a diverse range of research topics. Also, five Fall 2022 Capstone teams had a chance to showcase their senior design project:

 

  • Concussion Detecting Football Helmet advised by Prof. Sasan Haghani 
  • Navigation Control of a Robot for Smart Warehouse Applications advised by Prof. Daniel Burbano Lombana
  • Workout Repetition Counter advised by Mehdi Javanmard
  • Smart Visual Aid Cane advised by Jorge Ortiz
  • Dynamic Line Rating Systems advised by Prof. Michael Caggiano

The event was well-received by faculty, students, and industry representatives. Special thanks to Prof. Laleh Najafizadeh and Prof. Yao Liu for coordinating this important event that showcases the exciting research in our department!
