Hi, I'm Taylor!

My research focus is embodied intelligence and high-performance robotics. Recently, I have been working on:

interactive predictive control for locomotion and manipulation
differentiable physics for rigid-body dynamics with contact
non-convex solvers for planning with conic and complementarity constraints
predictive control algorithms algorithms for robots that make and break contact with the environment
