HI, I'm

Colter Decker

Ph.D. Candidate in Mechanical Engineering at Harvard University

I study how to improve the safety, reliability, and performance of robots through hardware design. I'm advised by Professor Robert Wood.

Right now, I'm making robot hands and sensors, and studying how hardware decisions can improve the performance of learned policies.
