Bi- and multi-stable structures, as well as origami structures, can rapidly release elastic energy during transitions between different equilibrium shapes. These snap-through transitions between stable configurations are characterized by rapid […]

Field robotics tackles the problem of developing, deploying, and evaluating autonomous mobile systems in unstructured and often dynamic environments. Typical commercial applications are in agriculture, construction, mining, and forestry. The […]

Future robotic systems, such as autonomous vehicles and caregiving robots, promise to revolutionize our homes, cities, and roads. However, a critical question remains—how can we trust that these technologies will […]

Recent advances in training large-scale models on massive internet-scale data show great promise for developing foundation models that enable robots to perform sophisticated tasks in human-centered environments, such as transportation, […]

Robotic operation in space faces a consistent trade-off between building simple and resilient systems to withstand the extreme conditions, and maintaining flexibility in the robot system to keep up with […]
