Eduardo Torres-Jara PhD.

I am currently a postdoctoral associate working for Prof. Daniela Rus at MIT CSAIL and Prof. Rob Wood at the Microrobotics lab at Harvard.
Formerly, I was a postdoc and a PhD student at the Humanoid Robotics Group led by Prof. Rodney Brooks.

As my PhD. thesis, I developed an approach to manipulation that I called "Sensitive Manipulation." This approach relies mainly in tactile sensing and force feedback.
