Morphological computation in soft robotic arms
How passive dynamics and material compliance reduce the need for explicit control — and what that means for building more adaptable robots.
Notes, experiments, and reflections on perception, control, and learning in physical robots.
How passive dynamics and material compliance reduce the need for explicit control — and what that means for building more adaptable robots.
Exploring distributed tactile arrays and how they enable robots to “feel” their own posture, contact forces, and surface interactions in real time.
A practical look at domain randomization, system identification, and the stubborn gap between simulation and the messy physical world.
Moving beyond metric path planning — how robots can use visual affordances and scene understanding to navigate in unstructured environments.
Why energy efficiency is not just a battery problem — it’s a fundamental constraint that shapes gait, morphology, and control policies.
