I was awarded the Provost's Graduate Academic Engagement Fellowship!

My department featured this news on Instagram and LinkedIn:

Folding the future: The rise of origami-inspired robots (NSF News)

An NSF News article features the Sung Robotics Lab’s work on origami robotics, including the Kinegami and CurveQuad projects I’m part of.

Outreach Workshop on Origami Robotics at The Arts League

We held an outreach workshop at The Arts League about the use of origami in robotics, aiming to highlight the two-directional relationship between art and engineering. Participants folded and assembled their own origami robot. Penn Engineering made a video about it:

GRASP Lab’s Award-Winning Automated System for Printing Origami Robots Could Democratize the Robot Design Process (GRASP News)

GRASP Lab news wrote a feature article on the Kinegami project that I’m part of. They wrote this when the project’s first paper (which was from before I joined) got an honorable mention for the T-RO best paper award: the article also discusses the future of the project including my OSME paper and ongoing work.

CurveQuad featured in Mashable, IEEE Spectrum Robot Friday, and DigiKey Maker Update

The video attachment to our IROS paper “CurveQuad: A Centimeter-Scale Origami Quadruped that Leverages Curved Creases to Self-Fold and Crawl with One Motor” was featured in IEEE Spectrum Robotics Video Friday and DigiKey Maker Update, and then Mashable made their own video about it!
