Fractional Chern insulators are exotic topological states of matter that host anyons, a proposed foundation for fault-tolerant quantum computing, but their small energy gaps confine them to extremely low temperatures. The team asked frontier AI models to propose a new theoretical framework for topological flat bands, then set a swarm of agents to explore it, coordinating only through a shared message board, with every candidate checked by GPU-accelerated exact diagonalization. The swarm found a surprise: departing from the \u201cideal\u201d quantum geometry long considered optimal raised the many-body gap more than tenfold over the starting bands, well past the previous benchmark and beyond what agents working alone reached. AI-assisted analysis then distilled this into a simple sheared Landau level model that explains the mechanism (reshaped electron orbitals stiffen the short-range repulsion protecting the state) and yields a design index computable without many-body simulation. Proposing the hypothesis, searching it,\u00a0 explaining what it found, and presenting a model offers an early look at end-to-end scientific discovery with AI.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"154202-21917359@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/154202", "building_id":"1000395", "building_name":"Francois-Xavier Bagnoud Building", "campus_maps_id":"17", "room":"1109", "location_name":"Francois-Xavier Bagnoud Building", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Aerospace Engineering","Rackham","Physics","Micde Seminar","Micde","Lsa Events","Graduate School","Graduate","Generative Ai","Computational Science","Ai In Science And Engineering","Ai"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Michigan Institute for Computational Discovery and Engineering", "group_id":"3286", "website":"http:\/\/micde.umich.edu" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_154202_original-1.png", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_154202_original-1.png", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_154202_original-1.png", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_154202_original-1.png", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_154202_original-1.png", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_154202_original-1.png", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_154202_original-1.png", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_154202_original-1.png", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_154202_original-1.png", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_154202_original-1.png", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_154202_original-1.png", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_154202_original-1.png", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_154202_original-1.png", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_154202_original-1.png", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_154202_original-1.png", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_154202_original-1.png" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21917359 } , "150637-21909736": { "datetime_modified":"20261114T202105", "datetime_start":"20261117T153000", "datetime_end":"20261117T161500", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-11-17", "date_end":"2026-11-17", "time_start":"15:30:00", "time_end":"16:15:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Apply to the MHI - Fall 2027 Admissions Cycle", "occurrence_title":"Apply to the MHI (November)", "combined_title":"Apply to the MHI - Fall 2027 Admissions Cycle: Apply to the MHI (November)", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Workshop \/ Seminar", "event_type_id":"21", "description":"Preparing to apply to the University of Michigan Master of Health Informatics (MHI) program?

Humanoids now learn athletic, whole-body skills from simulation and human demonstration, while industry investment accelerates the push toward general-purpose machines. Much of this progress relies on synthetic or retargeted data and inherits whatever physics those pipelines get right or wrong. More data alone is not enough. Robots also need models that respect physics, demonstrations they can physically execute, and interfaces that let them work intuitively with people. This talk argues that physical structure is not a competitor to learning but part of its infrastructure.\n\nI will first discuss differentiable simulation and data pipelines for the closed-chain mechanisms of real humanoids, along with physically consistent model identification grounded in the geometry of mass distributions. I will then present dynamics-aware retargeting and whole-body MPC that turn human motion into feasible robot behavior, including heavy-payload loco-manipulation where vision alone cannot determine payload dynamics. This emphasis on structure also extends to machines that must coordinate with the human body. In lower-limb prostheses, I will show how task-level priors drawn from human sensorimotor coordination allow humanlike joint behavior to emerge from whole-body coordination rather than being prescribed joint by joint. Across robots and people alike, scale makes good structure more valuable, not less.\n\nSpeaker Bio: Patrick Wensing is the Wanzek Family Foundation Collegiate Professor of Engineering and an Associate Professor in Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at the University of Notre Dame, where he directs the Robotics, Optimization, and Assistive Mobility (ROAM) Lab.
