Robots are often thought of as stiff and inorganic, but we’re taking a different approach with soft robotics. In this new @NASASTEM video, learn from a NASA engineer and intern about this field, which takes inspiration from life around us on land and sea. nasa.gov/feature/langle…
Hiring Motion Capture Lab Manager for collaborative initiative in robotics and biomechanics! sjobs.brassring.com/TGnewUI/Search…
Being able to share this is a dream come true... I'm happy to officially introduce my research group at Northwestern University, the Robotic Matter Lab! We're opening this September! sites.northwestern.edu/roboticmatterl… We're actively recruiting our first cohort of Ph.D. students!
Congrats to Jessica Sandoval who leveled up as an ROV Pilot this year, from Argus to Hercules! Jess is a PhD student @UCSDJacobs Bioinspired Robotics and Design Lab & joined Nautilus in 2015 as an ROV Intern. Tune in 12-4pm PT to hear Jess and the team: nautiluslive.org

Latest version of my Map of Control Theory. You can download the hi-res version at engineeringmedia.com. I wanted to get this version out quickly so I didn't get to everyone's suggestions but I appreciate all of the feedback. Cheers!
Meet Benjamin Shih @benjshih #ARCSscholar @UCSanDiego whose research on informative touch for soft robots will help engineers build robots that can better understand, work with, and help humans. Ben will be honored at the 2020 ARCS SOY Event on Sept 13. san-diego.arcsfoundation.org/currentevents
13 years ago, I emailed Dr. Fauci out of the blue to ask if I might interview him for my undergrad thesis. He invited me to his office, where he answered all my questions. When I sent him the thesis, HE READ THE WHOLE THING (see his overly effusive review below). Who does that?!
Meet #ARCScholar Ben Shih. Ben is a PhD student in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (@UCSDJacobs) in the Bioinspired Robotics and Design Lab at UC San Diego (@UCSanDiego). Ben's research focuses on the mechanical side of artificial intelligence. #ScholarFeatureFriday

Sure, we need scientists in academia. But, let’s not forget that: We need scientists in industry We need scientists in government We need scientists in journalism We need scientists in law We need scientists in policy ...and so much more! There is a world beyond academia.

In some kinds of work, doing something faster than your peers is a sign of ability. But starting a startup at 16 doesn't mean you're 50% better at startups than Larry Page. It's more like stumbling into a room.
