While doing Product Design (PD) at Stanford as an undergrad and spending a summer at IDEO, Peter had the opportunity to learn about the design process while working on a wide range of projects, from toys to medical devices. He soon realized that he never learned anything concrete, and now wants to make really sweet robots. Peter spends many of his waking hours at the d.school, sharing his passion for design thinking with students who work in interdisciplinary teams to solve real-world problems. When Peter's not charging capacitors backwards, he loves wandering around art museums, tasting six sigma wine, road biking, going to concerts, being ridiculous, and exploring San Francisco.

Ted Sweet is a coterm student in Mechanical Engineering. He likes to design and build stuff, which is why he's studying ME and he's taking this class. He works in the PRL as a TA, which fits into the whole theme of designing and building. He likes to do a lot of other stuff too, but won't get into the details here. In closing, he would like to share some wise words he once heard, "NEVER TRUST ROBOTS." |
Adam is an Aero/Astro masters student with an undergraduate background in physics and electrical engineering. His current focus is on controls, but his interests range from mechanical design and prototyping to programming and animation. Adam has really enjoyed working with this amazing team and learning about the design process. When he can escape the lab, Adam likes running, playing frisbee and volleyball, flying Cessnas, and singing with Testimony A Cappella. He advises all future robot makers to make sure their ribbon cables are plugged in correctly. Seriously. |
