Insect Inspired Intelligence Lab (III)

Kaushik Jayaram, PhD

Lab Director and Principal Investigator

As the principal investigator of this group, our lab’s research combines biology and robotics to, uncover the principles of robustness that make animals successful at locomotion in natural environments, and, in turn, inspire the design of next generation of novel robots for effective real-world operation. We are currently working with a number of arthropod model organisms including cockroaches, spiders, centipedes, etc. and developing a variety of multifunctional autonomous soft robots ranging from penny to a puppy sizes.

Broadly speaking, I consider myself a scientist with a solid foundation in engineering. I am grateful for having had the opportunity to study in some of world class schools and research universities. At every stage of my education, I have had the guidance of excellent teachers and mentors who have, not only, shaped my scientific thinking, but also, taught me to be humble, stay curious and respect diversity of opinion.
