Summary of GRASP Lab Days 2022 - Faculty Research Talks presents Dr. M. Ani Hsieh

00:00:00 - 00:35:00

In the video, Dr. M. Ani Hsieh discusses some of the research that her team is doing related to ventilation. She notes that many of these questions have important implications for other areas of healthcare, and that better sensing and automation of ventilation could significantly improve the rarest aspects of these problems.

• 00:00:00 In this video, Professor Ani Hsieh of Brass discusses research in the scalable autonomous robot lab. She discusses some of the challenges in researching this area, but also some of the potential benefits.
• 00:05:00 The GRASP Lab Days 2022 video presents Dr. M. Ani Hsieh, who discusses the 2020 hurricane season. She notes that the list of names for the season was created using Greek letters, and that if they go over 21 names, they will start using alpha beta Greek letters. The main driver behind the season's variability is ocean dynamics, and she notes that it is hard to predict what will happen. She also points out that there are expensive ways to collect data in the ocean, and that there are a lot of expensive machines available to those with the money to purchase them.
• 00:10:00 The video discusses how ocean currents can be difficult to predict and control, particularly when coupled with GPS signals that don't penetrate the water. The presenter emphasizes the importance of using models to understand the ocean, but notes that they are often inaccurate.
• 00:15:00 The talk presented by Dr. M. Ani Hsieh discussed the challenges that researchers face when trying to study large-scale phenomena such as climate change. Hsieh discussed the need for systems that are able to communicate with one another and with the base station, and outlined some methods that researchers are using to overcome these challenges. The talk concluded by discussing the challenges that researchers will face in the future as sensors are blanketed over the ocean.
• 00:20:00 The video discusses how researchers are working to improve our understanding of ocean dynamics and how this information can be applied to areas such as search and rescue, waste management, and carbon capture.
• 00:25:00 The researchers at the GRASP Lab are exploring ways to use data-driven modeling to understand complex systems, such as the ocean. They also focus on representing knowledge in a machine learning framework, in order to improve predictions.
• 00:30:00 Dr. M. Ani Hsieh discusses research into ocean dynamics and how it can be applied to design new technologies for mitigating climate change. She also discusses how roboticists can use ocean data to better understand the impacts of urban areas on ambient temperature.
• 00:35:00 In this video, Dr. M. Ani Hsieh discusses some of the research that her team is doing related to ventilation. She notes that many of these questions have important implications for other areas of healthcare, and that better sensing and automation of ventilation could significantly improve the rarest aspects of these problems.
