Research interests

My research focuses on distributed manipulation/control using macroscopic actuator arrays. In particular, the work is concerned with updating the current MDMS (modular distributed manipulation system) prototype and control strategies that take into account the hybrid nature of the dynamics.

Research interest keywords

control and manipulation

Past Labs & Groups

Biorobotics - Conducting motion planning research for snake robots, mobile robots, and actuator arrays, mainly geared for scenarios where the robot does not have a priori knowledge of the world.

Past Projects

Modular Distributed Manipulator System - An array of cells, each of which can induce a vectored force to an object resting on the cell. The cells collectively transport and manipulate objects resting on the array.
