Bimodality is common, but trimodality—that is, the ability to successfully navigate between aerial, aquatic, and terrestrial environments—is relatively rare. Multimodality is also challenging to achieve in engineered devices, vehicles, and robots; however, several animals are capable of regularly (and easily) traversing environmental boundaries. In this talk, we will outline several of the general adaptations that living organisms use to locomote between land, air, and water. We will then present recent work on the biomechanics and fluid dynamics of trimodal aquatic insects. These insects exhibit hybrid walking-swimming gaits when transitioning from land to shallow water; they also leverage surface tension, buoyancy, fluid drag, and aerodynamic forces to take off into flight directly from the water surface. They also display underwater agility, using their legs as paddles to propel themselves rapidly as they seek prey and/or escape from predators. They also have interesting morphological features to enable these transitions, including superhydrophobic wings and hemelytra, as well as dense setae lining the metathoracic legs. These bristle-like features create shape-morphing appendages for efficient swimming, and are also used to lever the insect’s body off the deforming water surface during takeoff. In this talk, we will present data from all three locomotor modes and discuss their implications for both fundamental biology and ecology as well as bioinspired engineering and technology development.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Biography: </strong>Dr. Margaret L. Byron is currently the Martin W.

The bar for safe decision-making rises as these systems enter safety-critical, real-world settings where they must perform well under uncertainty. Our work shows that physicality is a resource against the two kinds of uncertainty they face: intentional (or adversarial), where data is manipulated by malicious agents, and natural, where aspects of the environment are simply unknown. Most of this talk concerns intentional uncertainty. Here, one way to exploit physicality is by using communication as a sensor. Because the signals robots exchange are difficult to forge, they carry evidence that can be cross-validated to yield a quantifiable likelihood that an agent's data is trustworthy. This is the foundation of cy-trust, in which stochastic observations of trust model an agent's trustworthiness probabilistically from physical rather than cryptographic evidence. Each neighbor's contribution is then weighted by its trust value. Under this framework, we show that consensus, distributed optimization, and other core coordination tasks admit almost-sure convergence with bounded deviation from their nominal performance, even when malicious agents exceed half of a node's connectivity, past the classical Byzantine bound. We support this finding with both theory and hardware experiments under adversarial attack. Against natural uncertainty, we show that real-time sensing can be folded into rollout-based reinforcement learning, where the same machinery reweights futures rather than neighbors. We apply this idea to routing a fleet of robots to stochastically appearing demand and, with Project CETI, to the first autonomous robotic rendezvous with sperm whales at sea. Finally, we preview some of our future work combining trust with long-horizon sequential decision-making, targeting planning that stays provably resilient when the data informing the plan may itself be corrupted.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<em>Stephanie Gil is the John L.

However, while cutting-edge research drives innovation, it also carries a significant environmental footprint. Laboratories consume large amounts of energy, generate substantial quantities of plastic, chemical, and biological waste, and contribute considerably to greenhouse gas emissions. At EPFL, we are committed to understanding and reducing this impact. Through the development and deployment of the <strong>EPFL CO₂ Calculator</strong>, we help researchers measure, understand, and improve the environmental performance of their activities.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nFrom <strong>October 8 to December 17, 2026</strong>, the <strong>Sustainable Labs: Get Involved</strong> sessions will focus on training and supporting users in the use of the <strong>EPFL CO₂ Calculator</strong>. This tool enables laboratories, platforms, centers, and central units to estimate their carbon footprint, identify major emission hotspots, and support informed decision-making to reduce their environmental impact through targeted actions.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nHere are the planned sessions : \r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>Thursday October 8th 12:15-13:00 (online) </li>\r\n\t<li>Tuesday October 13th 12:15-13:00 (MA A0 364)</li>\r\n\t<li>Thursday October 22th 12:15-13:00 (online) </li>\r\n\t<li>Tuesday October 27th 12:15-13:00 (MA A0 364)</li>\r\n\t<li>Thursday November 5th 12:15-13:00(online) </li>\r\n\t<li>Tuesday November 10th 12:15-13:00 (MA A0 364)</li>\r\n\t<li>Thursday November 19th 12:15-13:00 (online) </li>\r\n\t<li>Tuesday November 24th 12:15-13:00 (MA A0 364)</li>\r\n\t<li>Thursday December 3rd 12:15-13:00 (online) </li>\r\n\t<li>Tuesday December 8th 12:15-13:00 (MA A0 364)</li>\r\n\t<li>Thursday December 17th 12:15-13:00 (online) </li>\r\n</ul>\r\nSessions can be held in English and/ or French depending on the participants. <br>\r\n<br>\r\n→ Please register <a href=\"https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd7Cp6LevgtBLtsWIsKr2Ec_HPGjJgimmwEaGAN5U4M4-2rrg/viewform\">here</a>.
