I'm proud to have been so heavily involved in the creation of @asu_gsi #ASUCHART GHOST Lab @PolySchoolASU, working with engineers and artists to craft a space that's both scientific testbed and art installation. Awesome research is already in progress! @ASUResearch @lancegharavi
Exploring the solar system and beyond will require robots to assist humans — and go where we cannot. Researchers at GSI's #ASUCHART testbed are helping people, robots and artificial intelligence collaborate more safely and effectively. Learn more: research.asu.edu/chart-ing-f…

Happy Tuesday! NSF (M3X) Award Notice. Excited to be Co-PI (w/ @spring_berman) on @ASUPsych Kathy Johnson's "Embodiment of Human Values Profiles in the Control of Autonomous Vehicles" We'll be joining #psychology & #control to make vehicles w/ MORALLY graceful failure modes :-)

Do want to implement a gradient-based feedback control law that was developed for a holonomic robot model, but your robot is nonholonomic? See our new RA-L paper: ieeexplore.ieee.org/document…

My people are awesome! @spring_berman
On a recent visit to ASU's Poly campus in Mesa, AZ, I met with the the CHART (Center for Human, Artificial Intelligence, and Robot Teaming) research team. Hats off to Drs. Nancy Cooke and Spring Berman, and students for their groundbreaking work in human-machine interfaces.

This issue features insights from chimney swifts, robots, and plant tendrils @spring_berman @MerozLab If you have an article you can send it to my attention at @BioinspBiomim
Board member @drdavidhu is Guest Editing a special issue on swarming systms for us. We've published 2 papers to date, with plenty more to come. ow.ly/4hhM50utNTg
