Proud to be working on Kilometer-Scale Space Structures from a Single Launch with Zac Manchester

Listen to Prof Lipton on the Soft Robotics Podcast from IEEE RAS - soundcloud.com/ieeeras-softro… The Center for Digital Fabrication at UW

Coverage of our NIAC with Zac Manchester in Wired wired.com/story/heres-a-…

We're so excited to be selected by NASA for a Phase II NIAC award for our work on large expanding space structures with TransformativeRoboticsLab nasa.gov/press-release/…

Very Excited to start work on our Phase II NIAC project on kilometer-scale space structures from a single launch

Funding from NASA will help a team including Carnegie Mellon's Zac Manchester and University of Washington's Jeff Lipton continue their work to design and build foldable structures for space. cmu.is/folding-struct…

Assembly-line robots are great, but usually at only one thing. A new tool from #UWAllen & Mechanical Engineering at UW would enable manufacturers to rapidly get a grip on changing production needs by 3D printing passive grippers customized for various objects. #SIGGRAPH2022 washington.edu/news/2022/07/2…

A UW team, including ME Assistant Professor Jeffrey Lipton & doctoral student Ian Good, created a new tool that can design a 3D-printable passive gripper & calculate the best path to pick up a variety of objects. Learn more: washington.edu/news/2022/07/2… Allen School UW Engineering
