    • Learning Diffusion Models to Enable Efficient Sampling for Task and Motion Planning on a Panda Robot 

      Johnson, Quincy (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-02)
      A search then sample approach to bilevel planning in the context of task and motion planning is one method of effectively solving multi-step robotics problems. In this planning framework, high-level plans of abstract actions ...

    • Modeling, Design, and Assembly of Spring Tires 

      Lu, Michael (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-02)
      With a renewed interest in the Moon and the need for autonomous lunar rovers that drive longer distances and operate over extended durations, designing efficient and robust mobility systems is paramount. Created by NASA ...

    • Study of High Harmonic Fast Waves Interactions in the Scrape off Layer of NSTX-U 

      De Levante Rodriguez, Ricardo Antonio (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-02)
      High-harmonic fast wave (HHFW) heating experiments in the National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX) at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) have shown that up to 60% of the injected power can be lost in the Scrape-Off ...
