Scott Kuindersma, assistant professor of engineering and computer science, is conducting research on how to control robotic motion, seeking to emulate some of the most complex motions of the animal kingdom, like the cliff-hugging dash of a mountain goat or a forest bird’s flitting through the trees. His lab recently received a two-legged robot made by Agility Robotics and Kuindersma and colleagues are designing algorithms that can make it move with speed and agility.
