My research focus is embodied intelligence and high-performance robotics. Recently, I have been working on:
- interactive predictive control for locomotion and manipulation
- differentiable physics for rigid-body dynamics with contact
- non-convex solvers for planning with conic and complementarity constraints
- predictive control algorithms algorithms for robots that make and break contact with the environment
