Connor Lucero Yako
Affiliate, Computer Science
BioHello, whoever is reading this! My name is Connor, and I am a recent Mechanical Engineering PhD graduate advised by Ken Salisbury. My research focused on non-anthropomorphic means for robotic in-hand manipulation, specifically, how vibrations can be used to move grasped parts in desirable ways. The totality of my dissertation provides both a solid theoretical and practical foundation for the use of vibrations for robotic in-hand manipulation. Post graduation, I hope to apply the research and electromechanical skills I have learned to robotics in general, though I still view the "hand" as perhaps the most interesting and elusive part of robotics today.

Daniel Yamins
Associate Professor of Psychology and of Computer Science
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur lab's research lies at intersection of neuroscience, artificial intelligence, psychology and large-scale data analysis. It is founded on two mutually reinforcing hypotheses:
H1. By studying how the brain solves computational challenges, we can learn to build better artificial intelligence algorithms.
H2. Through improving artificial intelligence algorithms, we'll discover better models of how the brain works.
We investigate these hypotheses using techniques from computational modeling and artificial intelligence, high-throughput neurophysiology, functional brain imaging, behavioral psychophysics, and large-scale data analysis. -
