Celebrating the Dedication of Amy Gutmann Hall
On September 27th, members of the Penn community gathered to dedicate the University’s new center for data science and artificial intelligence: Amy Gutmann Hall. This 116,000-square-foot, six-story building is centrally located on the northeast corner of 34th and Chestnut streets. As the Philadelphia region’s tallest mass timber structure, Amy Gutmann Hall has a significantly reduced carbon footprint, reinforcing Penn’s dedication to sustainable innovation and embodying the University’s commitment to environmentally responsible design.

IoT4Ag Center is Advancing Data Collection Capabilities for Rural Farms
The Internet of Things for Precision Agriculture (IoT4Ag) Center, now entering its fifth year, is paving the way for affordable technological innovations that help producers make informed management decision. The Center’s Solar-Powered Remote IoT4Ag Network Gateway (SPRING) project allows for data collection across farms in a low-power, long-range approach. Founding Director Cherie Kagan, Stephen J. Angello Professor of Electrical and Systems Engineering (ESE) and Materials Science and Engineering (MSE), founded IoT4Ag to help adapt agriculture to the “grand societal changes and needs regarding food, energy, agriculture and water conservation.” READ MORE
Unfolding the Next Generation of Robots: GRASP Researchers Win Award for Kinegami
Researchers in the GRASP Laboratory are developing an algorithm for designing functioning robots through folding. The paper that details the design and code behind the project, Kinegami: Algorithmic Design of Compliant Kinematic Chains From Tubular Origami, was awarded an honorable mention for the 2023 IEEE Transactions on Robotics King-Sun Fu Memorial Best Paper Award. The motivation behind the Kinegami algorithm originated from a design project in which Wei-Hsi Chen, a postdoctoral researcher in Electrical and Systems Engineering (ESE), was using origami-inspired methods to create new lightweight and power-dense dynamical robots.
