Jordan Raney Awarded DARPA Fellowship to Develop Materials with ‘Distributed Intelligence’
Jordan Raney, Assistant Professor in Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics, is developing a way for robots to respond to their environments using properties that are built into the materials they’re made of. Now, through a new DARPA Young Faculty Award, Raney will build on ideas to produce materials with “distributed intelligence.” Award, Raney will build on ideas to produce materials with “distributed intelligence.” By combining their mechanical logic gates into more complex arrangements and, these materials may allow new capabilities in unconventional robots.
