Sam A Burden

I'm a Ph.D. student at Berkeley EECS studying control theory and robotics. I have a strong interest in the control of nonlinear, hybrid, and stochastic dynamical systems. I'm particularly excited about developing control schemes that exploit the complex nature of dynamic, under-actuated, and autonomous robots to accomplish novel tasks in locomotion. I'm currently working with Professor Shankar Sastry on the MAST project.

In the past, I've built self-assembling robots and modeled the dynamics of a hexapedal running robot.
