“Find what’s good, and make it last.”

This includes not only preservation of good, but also learning what future implementations encourage and improve future prospects. Our primary operating principle is to define our goals from first principles in close conjunction with our partners. This enables us to affect positive change in the world efficiently and sustainably in an ever-changing environment.

Our team is a set of classically trained mechanical engineers, mechanical designers, and computer scientists. Our team has expanded to include expert partners in robotics design and mechatronics, biomechanics, apiculture, cybersecurity, industrial engineering, industrial design, system architecture, engineering education and assessment, safety, and sanitation.

At an NSF-grant support conference, an three-letter-federal-agency program director dubbed us “genius.”
