Stanford Robotics Seminar ENGR319 | Autumn 2025 | Make Every Step an Experiment

For more information about Stanford’s graduate programs, visit: https://online.stanford.edu/graduate-education September 26, 2025 This seminar shows: • By strategically eliciting the force responses from loose regolith, robots could generate desired ground reaction forces and achieve substantially improved locomotion performance on deformable substrates • By leveraging the high force transparency of direct-drive actuators, robots can use their legs as proprioceptive sensors to opportunistically determine the terramechanical properties of regolith from every step To follow along with the seminar schedule, visit: https://stanfordasl.github.io/robotics_seminar/ Feifei Qian WiSE Gabilan Assistant Professor and Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering.
