Four-legged robotic system developed for navigating uneven terrain

Control Engineering

Robotics insights MIT CSAIL researchers have developed a four-legged robot called DribbleBot that can dribble a soccer ball the way a human can. This will be useful in making robots more dexterous and able to handle sensitive jobs in the future. Programming robots to play soccer has been an active research area for some time.

Researcher improving safety for autonomous systems

Control Engineering

Xu also is developing a new active learning-based course for UW-Madison students focused on safety control in robotics. He also will help develop a summer workshop to introduce high school students to robotics and controls. Ultimately, I expect to be able to provide insight on how to design better autonomous systems.”
