Stanford Robotics Seminar ENGR319 | Winter 2025 | Embodied Intelligence

Lining Yao discusses embodied intelligence using morphing materials, addressing design challenges through computational optimization and material science.

For more information about Stanford’s graduate programs, visit: online.stanford.edu/graduate-education March 7, 2025 This seminar covers: • Embodied intelligence with morphing materials and mechanisms • Facing open design challenges, such as complete degradability and biocompatibility, arbitrary shape morphing, and freely reconfigurable degrees of freedom • How addressing these challenges sometimes requires looking beyond conventional mechatronic systems • The critical role of computational design and optimization in assisting robotic and machine design and control Follow along with the seminar schedule: stanfordasl.github.io/robotics_seminar/archive/ Lining Yao is an Assistant Professor at the Mechanical Engineering department, the University of California, Berkeley, where she directs the Morphing Matter Lab (morphingmatter.org).
