Welcome to Bianchini-Love Engineering (BLE), the website of Bibit Bianchini and Henry Love! On this website, you will find both of our portfolios, including projects we’ve each done separately (labeled as LOVE and BIANCHINI) as well as our collaborations (labeled as BIANCHINI-LOVE). While most of the projects here relate to our specific training in electrical (Henry) and mechanical (Bibit) engineering, we document other kinds of projects here too, such as music, art, and this website itself. We continually update this site with new content and features, so be sure to check often for updates! For more information about the creators, please visit the About page.

Live ContactNets Demo with Franka Arm

Updated: Sep 26, 2022

At the International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) in 2022 in Philadelphia, we took advantage over the conference being in our neighborhood and performed live demonstrations of our ContactNets project. The demo featured a Franka Panda robotic arm tossing a test object onto a table, and learning the object's geometry just by observing its contact-rich trajectory. My collaborators are fellow Penn PhD student Mathew Halm, Penn masters student Kausik Sivakumar, and Penn faculty Michael Posa.

Space Taco Corgi: Mechatronic Robot

Updated: Sep 26, 2022

For the notorious Stanford mechatronics course project, 3 of my classmates and I constructed a robot designed to play the 2019 ME218B challenge: the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Designed to compete in 1-on-1 matches, autonomous robots were designed to commence when they received a start game signal, collect "garbage" (foam balls) throughout the game field, try to recycle as many as they could based on the garbage color, then throw the rest away into a landfill. All actions were autonomous, including localization, given that the robots were started in a random configuration every match.
