People

Welcome to the SSR Lab! Our interdisciplinary "collective" brings together members from many disciplines including ME, EE, CS, Math, and Biology. You can find us in the new shared Robotics@Princeton F-wing Space, on the left side of the Equad Cafe Lobby. We also have dedicated lab spaces in the Equad (J431) and Forrestal (Water Tank Lab)

Our lab is committed to building a diverse, creative, social-justice minded, fun, collective culture in Robotics. We manage the Fwing Diversity BookShelf and spontaneous reading hour, we work closely with the Princeton NSBE chapter, and we work on "inreach" (self-education and systemic reform) initiatives to tackle gender and race inequity.
