Alejandro Velasquez
As a product of the Star Wars generation, immersed in a childhood of LEGO construction and fascinated by groundbreaking space missions as depicted in the pages of National Geographic, I cannot help but be captivated by the realms of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
I am a Robotics PhD student at OSU, and my current research is about robotic grasping and manipulation for fruit harvesting. My focus is to develop robotic grippers with novel actuation and sensing techniques, sensor fusion with ML, and path planning.
