UMBC researchers use Indian dance to improve robotic hand movement learning

UMBC Professor Ramana Vinjamuri and his students used Bharatanatyam Mudras, Indian classical dance hand gestures, to help train and evaluate their system for recognizing and modeling human hand gestures. The work is described in the article, Reconstructing hand gestures with synergies extracted from dance movements, published in Nature Scientific Reports.

The gestures were successfully mapped onto Mitra, a humanoid robot with five-degree-of-freedom hands developed by a company led by Balaji Viswanathan, '23 Ph.D. Computer Science. This work demonstrates the potential of dance-inspired structured learning in enhancing dexterity, rehabilitation, and motor control, enabling more efficient gesture-based interaction models in robotics, prosthetics, and rehabilitation.

Explore how generative AI can augment your grad school journey. 

This session provides guided, hands-on experience with tools like Gemini, Gemini Deep Research, and Google NotebookLM— designed to boost your learning, writing, and critical thinking. You'll try out real prompts, experiment with workflows, and see how Gen AI can help you brainstorm, organize research, and assess insights. Framed by principles of ethical and responsible Gen AI use, you will be ready to integrate Gen AI thoughtfully into your academic practice. 

Dr. John Schumacher will be our guest speaker for this session. Dr. Schumacher is the Director of the Public Health Research Center (PHRC) of CAHSS and Professor in the Department of Sociology, Anthropology, and Public Health (SAPH) department. He is also currently serving as a University System of Maryland Generative AI Pedagogy Fellow 2025-2026!

Don't miss this exciting opportunity!
We're excited to invite applications for the Spring 2026 Cohort of the Entrepreneurial Learning Lab (ELL)—a hands-on program where students build entrepreneurial skills, earn internship credit, and work with UMBC faculty to assess the commercial or social-impact potential of their research.

ELL is a semester-long, cohort-based experience that teaches core innovation and entrepreneurship fundamentals, then puts them into practice through faculty research evaluations. It's a great fit for students interested in product development, consulting, research, design, entrepreneurship, or innovation in any field.

Students who complete the program earn internship credit and a $250 stipend, with an additional paid summer opportunity (up to $1,000) to continue project work.

Offered in partnership with the Alex. Brown Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation (ABCEI) and the Engineering and Computing Education Program (ECEP), ELL helps students build real-world skills valued by employers and graduate programs.

What You'll Gain
-Students participate in interactive workshops covering eight key entrepreneurial competencies: opportunity recognition, customer discovery, market analysis, problem/solution fit, product/market fit, demand validation, value delivery, and pitching/storytelling.

By the end of the program, students will:
-Work in teams to evaluate UMBC research for commercialization or community impact
-Create and deliver a professional pitch deck
-Build résumé-ready project experience
-Strengthen communication, problem-solving, and innovation skills

Eligibility
-Open to undergraduate and graduate students from all majors
-Commitment to all workshops and project work
-No prior entrepreneurship experience required

Important Notes
-This is an in-person program; full attendance is required for credit
-Application Deadline: Tuesday, December 17, 2025 at 11:59 PM
-Applicants will be notified in early January
