This volume presents papers on the topics covered at the National Academy of Engineering's 2014 US Frontiers of Engineering Symposium. Every year the symposium brings together 100 outstanding young leaders in engineering to share their cutting-edge research and innovations in selected areas. The 2014 symposium was held September 11-13 at the National Academies Beckman Center in Irvine California. The topics covered at the 2014 symposium were: co-robotics, battery materials, technologies for the heart, and shale gas and oil. The intent of this book is to convey the excitement of this unique meeting and to highlight innovative developments in engineering research and technical work.Table of ContentsFront MatterCO-ROBOTICSCo-Robotics--Brian Gerkey and Carmel MajidiProgress in Self-Driving Vehicles--Chris UrmsonSafe, Cheap, and Smart: Collaborative Robots in Manufacturing--Matthew WilliamsonPersonalized Medical Robots--Allison M.
