Engineering waves for a smarter, safer future

[Ganesh U. Patil @91ganesh91]

Vision sees shapes explicitly. Echoes don’t. Yet AI can still infer shape from sound. How?
Our @Advintellsyst work uses interpretable shallow CNNs to uncover acoustic signatures behind decisions - relevant to #robotic #perception and animal #echolocation. https://t.co/LR3kO30E04

A new echolocation system developed by researchers at the University of Michigan could help drones and robots “see” in darkness without cameras, laser-based sensors, or GPS🦇

Our work, published in Journal of Sound and VIbration, keeps getting attention: Bat-Inspired Sensor Could Help Drones Navigate Without Cameras https://t.co/Vsux3TEnqu via @nextgen_defense

Exciting to see our research on machine echolocation featured here. Our focus: training AI with simulated echoes to recognize shapes in the dark from real measurements.

[National Interest @TheNatlInterest]

The Army envisions echolocation technology’s use in aerial drones, autonomous ground vehicles, and underwater vehicles—but non-military applications abound as well. https://t.co/xHVsAhCCCu

[Ganesh U. Patil @91ganesh91]

Excited to see our research on echolocation-inspired and AI-driven perception featured in Interesting Engineering.
This tech could help us "see" in the dark. #AI #Echolocation #ResearchImpact #Ultrasound #Bats #MachineLearning

[Interesting Engineering @IntEngineering]

New bat-inspired AI lets drones navigate in darkness using only sound—no cameras, no GPS. https://t.co/AwKJ3EmiUh

[Ganesh U. Patil @91ganesh91]

Bats do it. Dolphins do it. Now, our neural net framework, published in @AcousticalSci, perceives 3D shape from ultrasound echoes.
Trained only on simulations, tested on the real world.
Like echolocating brains… but digital.

Can we see through sound? YES! Come to my presentation today at #ASME #IMECE 2024, where I will talk about my postdoc work on using ultrasound and #neural networks to recognize shapes of 3D objects.

Excited to have won the 1st place (joint) in the USNC/TAM 5-minute PhD Thesis in Mechanics Competition! If you're curious, check out finalists presentation here: https://t.co/qpZbXB9fV6. I present at 59.50 in the video.

@MCSlab_uiuc @MdShumonMia Congratulations Shumon.

[Ganesh U. Patil @91ganesh91]

Why let papers have all the fun? My #PhD #dissertation on nonlinear #phononic materials is now available online. Hope fellow researchers and graduate students find it useful. https://t.co/YflnXMDjT0

[Ganesh U. Patil @91ganesh91]

@PurdueCE @PabloZavattieri @PurdueEngineers I can see it's not just intelligent but lightweight too 🙂. Exciting work Prof. @PabloZavattieri

[Ganesh U. Patil @91ganesh91]

@mechseILLINOIS Ahh! Congratulations Prof. @KathrynMatlack

[Ganesh U. Patil @91ganesh91]

Proclaimed 'Doctor' today! Special thanks to advisor extraordinaire @KathrynMatlack and the committee (@MCSlab_uiuc, @tribo_tweets, and Prof. Vakakis) for their thought-provoking discussions. Excited for what lies ahead!

[Ganesh U. Patil @91ganesh91]

@robertopg14 @KershTBL You did excellent today, Roberto. I enjoyed your presentation. Congratulations!

[Ganesh U. Patil @91ganesh91]

Do not let our @JournalApplMech article "slide" through your reading list. After all, we propose #friction sliding as a platform for #programmability via #waves. https://t.co/Tm0Fe8Y3Is @KathrynMatlack @ASMEJournals

[Ganesh U. Patil @91ganesh91]

Interested in learning about how friction affects elastic waves in phononic materials? Check out my presentation tomorrow (Monday) at the #ASA183 meeting of @acousticsorg. @KathrynMatlack @ASAStudents

[Ganesh U. Patil @91ganesh91]

Check out our paper published in Extreme Mechanics Letters, where we discuss how wave mixing combined with nonlinear phononic materials enables and allows tunability of nonreciprocal waves: https://t.co/ACzxj5eI5W @KathrynMatlack

[Ganesh U. Patil @91ganesh91]

@MCSlab_uiuc Very interesting talk. I liked the way you motivated your research problem and vision.

@KershTBL @ProfWJLab @aimbe Congratulations! @ProfWJLab
