Active Projects
-
Collective (micro)robotics: This project studies multi-agent systems and how their interactions with the environment and each other lead to emergent collective behaviors for manipulation and assembly.
-
Soft robotics: This project leverages nonlinear compliant mechanisms to embed physical intelligence in soft robots, focusing on mechanical interactions and system dynamics to enable coorfinated task execution.
Past Projects
-
Magnetic micromanipulation: This project explores magnetic control of microrobots using torques and forces for precise manipulation, assembly, and navigation at the microscale.
-
Magneto-capillary systems: This project studies magnetic particles at the air-water interface, exploring their self-assembly through magneto-capillary interactions and dynamic collective behaviors.
-
Thermocapillary manipulation: This project uses laser-induced thermocapillary flows to manipulate and assemble microscopic particles at the air-water interface, studying both control strategies and the underlying fluid dynamics.
