Bryce C. Baker

 

Bryce is a 2002-2006 Self Fellow pursuing a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering. He received a B.S. (2000) in mechanical engineering and a M.S. (2002) in mechanical engineering from the University of Kansas. Bryce’s primary research interests are in automation design and control in robotics. He has worked for commercial research and development at Boeing. He has previously performed research in knowledge-based systems and developed a knowledge-based system to help advise operators through the process of laser marking of parts. Currrently he is working on improving bipedal locomotion across uneven and rough terrain by developing a robotic foot that will conform and react to the terrain like a human foot. Bryce's goal is to own a robotic consulting company. Mentor: Terry N. Faddis, Professor, Mechanical Engineering
