Research

What we work on

We are investigating robotic manipulation to enable robots with human-like object manipulation skills, and robotic materials — novel composite materials that embed sensing, actuation, computation, and communication, such as robotic muscles, skin, and bones — currently moving toward full-stack humanoid development. Our alumni have become tenure-track professors at R1 universities, graduate students and post-docs at the world's premier research universities, and engineers and scientists at leading companies.

Robotic Manipulation

Giving robots human-like object manipulation skills through perception, learning, and force-aware control.

Robotic Materials

Composite materials that embed sensing, actuation, computation, and communication — robotic muscles, skin, and bones.

Full-stack Humanoids

Bringing manipulation and robotic materials together toward capable, general-purpose humanoid systems.
