Insects flap their wings to fly in air, and zooplanktonic marine snails called sea butterflies flap wing-like appendages (called parapodia) to "fly" in water. Further, some tiny insect species are able to locomote via wing flapping in both air and water. Despite the thousand-fold difference in density between air and water, the flight systems of these very different animals show surprising similarities in how the wings move and in how they generate lift. These similarities point towards the possibility of designing a bio-inspired micro-aerial vehicle capable of aerial and aquatic flapping flight, but the fluid dynamics of such flight systems are not well understood. Here I describe our experimental efforts to understand this locomotion system. BIO: Dr. David Murphy began as an Assistant Professor in the USF Department of Mechanical Engineering in 2016. He was awarded a National Academies of Science Gulf Research Program Early Career Research Fellowship in 2017 and received an NSF CAREER award in 2019. His research focuses on biological, ecological, and environmental fluid mechanics, and his work has taken him from Antarctica to Bermuda. Dr. Murphy received his PhD in Civil and Environmental Engineering in 2012 from the Georgia Institute of Technology and subsequently served as postdoctoral fellow in Mechanical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University. He also received an MS in Mechanical Engineering from Georgia Tech and an MPhil in Biological Science from Cambridge University. He completed a double BS in Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. For more information please contact Dr. Hangjian Ling, MNE Seminar Coordinator (hling1@umassd.edu). All are welcome. Students taking MNE-500 are REQUIRED to attend! All other MNE BS and MS students are encouraged to attend. EAS students are also encouraged to attend.

  • Online Teaching and Learning Strategies
  • Location: Online
  • Contact: CITS Instructional Development
  • Description: A rigorous four-week, fully online certification course that introduces faculty to the current research and best practices for online teaching and learning. Using their own discipline-specific course materials for activities, faculty will work independently, collaboratively with peers from across campus, and with Instructional Designers to design and build one unit of online instruction in a myCourses site. This unit will meet the Quality Online Course Review Rubric criteria and be a model that faculty can reference and replicate as they continue to develop their upcoming fully online course(s).

  • ECE Master of Science Thesis Defense By: Abigail Rachel Keith

  • Description: Topic: Analysis and Implementation of INFOTAXIS as a Practical Strategy to Maximize Target-Search Efficiency Location: Dion 114 Zoom Teleconference: https://umassd.zoom.us/j/94433745094 Please contact Dr. John R. Buck via email at jbuck@umassd.edu for Meeting ID and Passcode. Abstract: Traditionally, search strategies are categorized into one of two types: explorative and exploitative. Explorative search strategies search by exploring an area without using gathered information to guide their search; this strategy type functions best when there is high clutter, which makes detections untrustworthy. Exploitative search strategies search by trusting available information and using it to guide their search; this strategy type functions best when there is low clutter, which makes detections, and thus, available information, more trustworthy. Infotaxis melds the two types of search strategies together by using explorative tactics in high clutter density and exploitative tactics in low clutter density to detect targets faster than established search strategies. It achieves this by maximizing information gain through maximizing entropy reduction. Infotaxis selects which grid cells it measures each iteration by calculating which cell will reduce the amount of entropy or uncertainty the most. Previously, infotaxis has been used to search for a target based on passive odor sensing. This thesis tests a version of infotaxis that instead uses active sensing to capitalize on available information and in turn, speed up the search process. This thesis demonstrates that infotaxis is faster than traditional search strategies and can be implemented into a searching robot using ultrasonic sensors. Through constructing a MATLAB search strategy simulation, the speed of infotaxis is compared to three other search strategies: Maximum A Posteriori (MAP), cycling in order and random searching. Infotaxis is found to be faster than cycling in order and random searching under all tested conditions, and it is slightly faster than MAP when the probability of detection, PD, decreases. Infotaxis is implemented into a real search for a single target by programming an iRobot Create 2 to search a linear row of ten cells with the infotaxis method using an HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor to make detections. With PD = 0.7 and a probability of false alarm, PD = 0.1, the robot finds the target with infotaxis 100% faster than MAP. By implementing infotaxis using a robot and ultrasonic sensor, this thesis demonstrates that infotaxis can be used as a search strategy in the real world, outside of simulations.
