DESCRIPTION:The seminar features a guest speaker Dr. Anusree Mandali\, who 
 is currently an Assistant Professor in ECE department at Lafayette College
 . Dr. Mandali earned her M.S. and Ph.D. from Cleveland State University. H
 er research focuses on robust and intelligent controllers for uncertain sy
 stems and printed sensors. She has published widely in journals and confer
 ences. In this presentation\, she will discuss soft grippers\, a branch of
  soft robotics that leverages deformable materials for adaptive and safe m
 anipulation in fields such as healthcare\, food handling\, and manufacturi
 ng. While soft grippers offer advantages such as low cost and high dexteri
 ty\, their broader adoption remains limited by challenges in autonomy\, sc
 alability\, and integration of sensing and control. In addition\, Dr. Mand
 ali will reflect on her decision to pursue an academic career and the chal
 lenges she has faced as an early-career professional.\n\n2121 Euclid Ave.\
