Our projects study how contact, morphology, and tactile / haptic feedback shape dexterous robot behaviour. We develop physically grounded methods for grasping, in-hand manipulation, handover, and human-guided interaction, with growing links to robot learning for contact-rich manipulation.

  1. How do contact and morphology shape dexterous behaviour?
  2. How can tactile and embodied sensing make manipulation more robust?
  3. How can mechanics-informed structure improve robot learning and control?
  4. How do we transfer these ideas to real robot hands, soft systems, and human interaction?
