It’s #WorldCarFreeDay today. Especially in cities (where majority of humanity live nowadays), it’s time to change the question: from moving cars to moving people. At the end of the day, city is geometry.

Very nice change in the laws of my former city to remove arbitrary minimum requirements for parking spots for new buildings! Next up: let’s fix US/Canada zoning laws so they don’t heavily favor cars by allowing for mixed-use development (commercial+residential).

So excited about our new PEACE project here at #UWAllen, designed to support CS researchers in Proactively Exploring and Addressing Consequences and Ethics. See the blog post to hear more! (w/ Rock Pang, Tadayoshi (Yoshi) Kohno, Dan Grossman)

New article out in Science Robotics. Using origami, airflow, and automation to control the dispersal of tiny wireless sensors. A collaboration between groups led by Vikram Iyer Shyam Gollakota , Alberto Aliseda, and myself.

This is great. The tilt effect due to proximity to a wall is fed into a Kalman Filter as a wall distance measurement. A simple, reactive way to navigate with no additional sensors. Fitting for the inaugural issue of the Robotics Nature Portfolio Journal
