Matthew Bell About Me:I am a Ph.D. student in the Robotics Lab in the Computer Science department at Dartmouth College. My current research is on the manipulation of flexible materials, focusing on the areas of robotic knot tying and cloth folding. Past research has included basic work on a climbing robot, and development of a reconnaissance vehicle built on a R/C car base for use in SWAT operations. My non-professional interests include photography, hiking, mountain biking, cross-country skiing, and geocaching. |
