Carbon nanostructures exhibit important physical, chemical, and mechanical properties, however, not all of these have been fully explored. In this thesis I focus on two carbon morphologies, linear carbon chains and hyperbolic ...

Another contribution of the dissertation is our virtual learning from demonstration system, which helps robots learn task knowledge and perform informed motion planning. Successful task motions are demonstrated using human ...

In Experiment 1, I demonstrated that two step lengths of visual look ahead is sufficient for humans to walk over complex terrain while exploiting the inverted-pendulum-like structure of bipedal gait as efficiently as they ...

WEATHERED is a means to give back and say thanks to all who have helped me through life and offer similar aid to anyone willing to listen. Presented within the CRAIVE Lab at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute's Technology ...
