We hosted a session at the CURIE Academy and the CATALYST Academy.

The topic was interdisciplinary research and how insights from biology can inform engineering, specifically our work on honeycomb construction and how it relates to our work on robotic construction.

Aaron presented his paper on ground texture localization at ICRA in Yokohama, Japan. Additionally, he was a coauthor on a pruning estimation paper.
