Explore a Stanford seminar on the intersection of robot design and planning presented by Cynthia Sung from UPenn. Delve into the complexities of robot design, balancing factors such as kinematics, materials, actuation, and control. Discover how computational design systems can simplify the process and learn about recent research mapping design problems to robot planning challenges. Examine case studies involving robot arms, dynamical quadrupeds, compliant manipulators, and modular truss structures. Gain insights into the implications of this approach for future robot co-design. The 48-minute talk, part of the AA289 Stanford Robotics and Autonomous Systems Seminar series, offers a deep dive into cutting-edge robotics research and its potential impact on the field.
