I am interested in the dynamics and control of robots interacting forcefully with the world. My long term goal is to make this interaction faster, safer and more robust. I am currently working on the "Physicality Initiative" which focuses on robust manipulation in uncertain environments, and on the "Dynamic Physical Rendering" project where my focus is on the motion planning and distributed control of thousands of modules of a metamorphic robot. My research interests are in manipulation, humanoid walking and balance, robust control, physics-based animation, and distributed control.
