During his PhD program at the UCSD Coordinated Robotics Lab, Nick Morozovsky developed several dynamic robotic systems, including Switchblade, a balancing treaded platform, and SkySweeper, a novel cable-locomoting 3D-printed robot. In addition to describing the development process of these robots, and showing the prototypes, Nick will discuss trends in robotics technologies (microprocessors, 3D printing, etc.) that have made prototyping and developing robots faster and cheaper than ever.
