He is the winner of multiple awards for his work including the DARPA Young Faculty Award, NSF Career Award, ONR Young Investigator Award, Air Force Young Investigator Award, Technology Review’s TR35, and multiple best paper awards.
He is founder of the Harvard Microrobotics Lab which leverages expertise in microfabrication for the development of biologically-inspired robots with feature sizes on the micrometer to centimeter scale. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at the University of California, Berkeley. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, an Associate Faculty member of the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering, and a National Geographic Explorer. Robert Wood is the Charles River Professor of Engineering and Applied Sciences in the Harvard John A. Highlights of Rob’s work include the creation of soft-bodied autonomous robots and highly agile aerial and terrestrial robotic insects. Key principles in this pursuit include bioinspired designs, smart materials for novel sensors and actuators, and the development of multi-scale, multi-material manufacturing methods. On the contrary, Rob’s research is focused on the design, mechanics, materials, and manufacturing of novel robot platforms that make the perception, control, or action easier or more robust for natural, unstructured, and often unpredictable environments. Artificial Intelligence is typically focused on algorithms for perception and control for autonomous robots able to make and act on decisions in real environments.
