Humanity-Driven Robotics
Our faculty and students are redefining what robotics can achieve for humanity. We create foundational advances across the full spectrum of robotics — from physical form to intelligence — by integrating the enormous depth of expertise across Princeton University, from engineering to the arts. Together, we are inventing materials that allow robots to interact seamlessly with humans; algorithms for positive social and economic impacts; intelligent and embodied systems that bring art installations to life; and robots that facilitate discoveries about behavior, ecology, and evolution.

Living architectures, like beehives and ant bridges, adapt to their environments through self-organization of swarming agents. Most human-made architectures are static, and can’t adapt to changing conditions.
That’s why Princeton engineers designed the Swarm Garden, a modular architectural facade that integrates swarm intelligence and…
