Currently I am working on the SLICE muri project to imbue bio-inspired robots with the kind of “embodied intelligence” that allows a squirrel to leap between unstable platforms with agility. In contrast to traditional robots, I am focusing on establishing practical, mathematically rigorous design principles that can design dynamic robots through origami fabrication.
Visit my research to rejoice with me in the astonishment of robotics.
