Mateusz Jaszczuk

I am a Master's student in Mechanical Engineering at the GRASP Lab, University of Pennsylvania, advised by Prof. Nadia Figueroa. My research focuses on enabling soft and safe physical Human-Robot Inetractions (pHRI), allowing robots to be deployed in human-centric, unstructured, and continuously evolving environments. Prior to Penn, I received my B.S. in Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering from Purdue University.

Rapid Mismatch Estimation via Neural Network Informed Variational Inference
Mateusz Jaszczuk, Nadia Figueroa
9th Conference on Robot Learning (CoRL) , 2025
Paper / Project Website

We propose an online, probabilistic framework for estimating the mismatch in the end-effector dynamics model, allowing impedance-controlled robots to manipulate heavy, unknown objects, showcasing fast and safe adaptation.

Paper

We introduce the concept of physics-guided transfer learning to predict the thermal conductivity of an additively manufactured short-fiber reinforced polymer (SFRP) using micro-structural characteristics extracted from tensile tests.
