Illinois researcher to help design robots that move like living creatures

What if robots weren’t so, well, robotic? What if they could jimmy and jive just like humans? That is the fundamental idea behind a project involving Yuliy Baryshnikov, a professor in Mathematics and Electrical and Computing Engineering, who seeks to help create a robot whose movements more closely mimic that of living creatures.

The project, "Science of Embodied Innovation, Learning and Control," is a joint effort between Baryshnikov and researchers at the University of Pennsylvania, University of California Berkeley, and John Hopkins University to use the natural world, combined with engineering, to design a smoother moving robot.
