Dustan has officially graduated from Brigham Young University with a Master's Degree in Mechanical Engineering!! He defended his master's thesis at the end of October on "Coordinated Multi-Arm Manipulation with Soft Robots" and passed with flying colors! Basically his thesis work enables manipulation of rigid objects using multiple soft, inflatable robots (like Baymax from Big Hero Six). Here's a video of some of his final results. Even though he wouldn't graduate until he finished and defended his master's thesis, Dustan walked at BYU's graduation at the end of August to celebrate early, which is where these pictures are from. He accepted a full time job with Raytheon Missile Systems in Tucson, Arizona, which is where we are now!
Just below are a couple pictures with Dustan's advisor, Marc Killpack, and a few of his lab mates at the BYU RaD Lab.
And here are the rest of our favorite photos we took at the nice BYU sign on campus :)
