Project
Bioinspired Robotic Object Manipulation

Summary
My research explores the idea of using bioinspiration to improve our current approaches to object manipulation. The current limitations are mainly around irregular shapes, large radius objects (like a ball) or easily deformed objects. I am investigating using AI and unusual robotic hardware designs to discover alternative approaches that could improve our interaction with a greater range of objects and environments.
