We are interested in the interplay between mechanical, electronic, and algorithm design to create robust autonomous systems for dynamic environments. Our research interests include:

• Algorithmic Robotics: TAPIR and more!
• Biomechanics Meets Robotics
• Systems Design
• Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
• Robotics Education: Platypus | ICRA Robotics Research + Education Workshop
