We're thrilled to announce that our LightSaders Robotics Team has been invited to the prestigious Maryland Tech Invitational (June 28th—30th) at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab! 🎉 This is a tremendous honor, as only the top 40 teams/robots in the world receive this invitation. This marks the second time our team has been recognized at this level in three years! At the FIRST Tech Challenge Competition (FTC) World Championship, also known as "Worlds," our team has consistently performed at an elite level. In 2022, we earned a Finalist Alliance trophy, and in 2024, we were Division Finalists, placing the LightSaders among the top teams of approximately 8,000 worldwide. Only about 2.5% of teams qualify to compete at Worlds, making the LightSaders accomplishments even more impressive! 🙌 Check out the link for more details about the Maryland Tech Invitational: https://lnkd.in/gf8CQmJJ #Robotics #TechInvitational #Lightsaders #STEM #FirstTechChallenge #FTC #Top40Teams #JohnsHopkins #TechCompetition #Innovation #FutureEngineers #ElitePerformance

Last month my PhD student Shafagh Keyvanian and I attended the Humanoids conference https://lnkd.in/epnrpWte in Austin, TX 🤠 . She showcased our first foray into rehabilitation robotics co-advised by Michelle Johnson. Inspired by the way we learn and use continuously differentiable self-collision and distance-to-collision boundary functions for robot control, we proposed a novel approach to learn realistic anatomically constrained range of motion boundaries (in joint-space) that model the impairment/capability of human upper-limbs from motion capture data. These boundary functions are versatile. They will not only be instrumental in monitoring progress and performance during rehabilitation exercises for patients, but will also play a crucial role in robot-assisted rehabilitation. Our primary focus is to enhance the accessibility and effectiveness of rehabilitation, especially for stroke survivors, by integrating innovative learning-based methodologies and safe robotic technologies Check the shared post below for details on the paper and project.

Excited to share our latest project! 🤖♟️ Over the past months, my colleagues Rayen Belfayez, Mehdi Nouni, and I have been working on a chess-playing robotic arm as part of our studies at the INSAT - Institut National des Sciences Appliquées et de Technologie. This project allowed us to delve deep into robotics, kinematics, and artificial intelligence. Using Arduino for the microcontroller, ROS with RViz for simulation, and Stockfish as the chess engine, we successfully developed a system capable of playing a full game of chess autonomously. We’ve documented every step of our journey in a comprehensive report, which I’m happy to share here. If you're interested in robotics, AI, or chess, feel free to check it out! #Robotics #AI #Chess #Engineering #Arduino #ROS #Stockfish
