How to Make (almost) Anything

Why I'm taking HTMAA

My background is in mathematics and computer science, and I now work on embodied intelligence. Working with robots has made me appreciate how much their behavior depends on the hardware. Joint response, control frequency, degrees of freedom, and physical contact all affect what a learned controller can achieve.

I’m taking HTMAA to better understand how robots are designed and made. I want to learn how materials, fabrication methods, component sourcing, and cost shape the systems we can build, and bring that understanding into my research on AI that can help people in the physical world.
