An international group of roboticists, including three from MIT, debated the best way to approach robotic manipulation moving forward.

Uwe Mettin’s thesis provides generic principles for the challenging motion planning and control problem of so-called underactuated mechanical systems.

Kavraki also helped write the book on the subject—literally: Her Principles of Robot Motion is the preeminent text on the subject.
