003 - TEAM

Leads and members — titles are provisional; the bench is the source of truth.

Alex Mercer

Lab director · arms

Kinematics, torque budgets, and the politics of who touches the torque wrench first.

Rita Okonkwo

Firmware · cage systems

RTOS bring-up, cage interlocks, and logs that survive a post-mortem without blame.

Jon Vance

Aircraft · controls

Attitude loops, vibration, and why the sim never matches the cage — yet.

Mira Sato

Perception · sensing

Cameras, lidar sanity checks, and calibration rituals nobody skips twice.

Elias Kraft

Structures · fabrication

Sheet metal, tapped holes, and the sacred 0.1 mm you do not hand-wave.

Nina Volkov

Integration · systems

Wiring harness guilt, connector torque, and the one ground that fixes everything.

Theo Nguyen

Simulation · dynamics

Mujoco, friction that lies politely, and meshes too ugly to show sponsors.

Sofia Reyes

Safety · operations

E-stops, cage rules, and the clipboard that actually gets signed.

004 - ADVISORS

Faculty and industry mentors who sign off on scope and safety, not slide decks.

Dr. placeholder

Mechanical · load paths & fatigue

Prof. placeholder

Embedded · RTOS & verification

005 - PARTNER

Labs, sponsors, and shops that reserve time on the floor — logos and MOUs ship when legal says so.

006 - CONTACT

Bench hours and keys are handled in person — this channel is for coherent questions only.
