Robot Talk Episode 153 – Origami-inspired robots, with Chenying Liu

Claire chatted to Chenying Liu from University of Oxford about how a robot’s physical form can actively contribute to sensing, processing, decision-making, and movement.

Chenying Liu is a Junior Research Fellow and an Associate Member of Faculty in the Department of Engineering Science at the University of Oxford. She leads an independent research programme focused on embodied physical intelligence, exploring how robot design can integrate geometry, materials, and control to enhance autonomy and robustness. Her work aims to develop more efficient and resilient robotic systems by embedding intelligence directly into their physical structures.
