Nirwan Ansari, an electrical and computer engineer who is a pioneer in the field of communications networks, and Gabrielle Esperdy, an architectural historian and trailblazer in the digital humanities, are the winners of the Board of Overseers Excellence in Research award for 2021. Atam Dhawan, senior vice provost for research, called the two awardees “exceptionally consequential researchers.” “Both Nirwan Ansari and Gabrielle Esperdy have made fundamental contributions – they’re both gamechangers in their distinctive ways – in very different arenas,” Dhawan said. “What links them is...

C-3PO walked upright and spoke six million languages, but never did much with his hands besides letting the wookie win at holochess. Such is the state of modern robotics and cyberintelligence, where a Boston Dynamics droid does backflips and Apple Siri maintains natural-language conversations, while precision manipulation of physical objects remains elusive, explained Cong Wang, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering at New Jersey Institute of Technology. Wang's plan to fix this involves a two-fingered robot, crowdsourcing, artificial intelligence and a National...
