Current Projects
		Dynamic Climbing The goal of this project is to show how robots can gain access to difficult-to-reach places by taking full advantage of their dynamics and the potential reaction forces afforded by the environment. We build robots that use dynamic motions to climb vertically using frictional contact forces.
		Highly-Articulated Robotic Probe (HARP) We developed and tested a prototype based on an innovative approach of a highly articulated robotic probe.
