Anaïs Jeger

I'm a student at MIT's Center for Bits and Atoms, working on robots, simulation and collective behaviour. I'm trying to spend a little less time in simulation and a lot more time building things.

About

Hi, I'm Anaïs! I'm a student at MIT's Center for Bits and Atoms, working with Neil Gershenfeld. Before moving to Boston, I was at ESA's Advanced Concepts Team.

My background is in electronics, computer science and robotics, and I'm interested in building robots that can change their bodies and adapt how they move. A bit more about me →
