End of an era as Kevin Tracy defends his PhD. Kevin has been with the lab since the very beginning at Stanford, through the move to CMU. He's done amazing optimization-based control work with applications spanning aerospace and robotics and it has been an absolute pleasure working with him.

🎉Excited to share that our paper was a finalist for best paper at #HRI2025! We introduce MOE-Hair, a soft robot system for hair care 💇🏻💆🏼 that uses mechanical compliance and visual force sensing for safe, comfortable interaction. Check our work: moehair.github.io @cmurobotics.bsky.social 🧵1/7

Congrats to all the undergrad, MS, and PhD students who contributed to this from @cmurobotics.bsky.social, @istecnico.bsky.social, and @uminho.bsky.social over the past two years!
Just made first contact with our satellite PROMETHEUS-1 in collaboration with @cmurexlab.bsky.social @istecnico.bsky.social @uminho.bsky.social @cmurobotics.bsky.social @scsatcmu.bsky.social
