Engineering Physical Principles of Embryonic Morphogenesis in Robotic Collectives

Explore a Stanford seminar on engineering physical principles of embryonic morphogenesis in robotic collectives. Delve into the fascinating world of active materials capable of self-shaping, self-healing, and strength control as presented by Elliot Hawkes from UCSB. Discover how tissue-inspired processes are encoded into robotic units to create material-like collectives with the ability to rearrange throughout, enabling dynamic control of shape and strength. Learn about the potential impact of these innovations on transforming static objects into programmable matter. Gain insights into cutting-edge research at the intersection of robotics, materials science, and developmental biology. Access additional resources, including information about the speaker and the full Stanford Robotics and Autonomous Systems Seminar series, to further expand your knowledge in this exciting field.
