We engineer novel software and hardware systems that empower end-users to shape the future of the physical world. By lowering barriers to consumer-grade fabrication and providing computational toolkits, anyone can detect overlooked opportunities and actively participate in transforming legacy objects into adaptive, smart interfaces. Our vision is to enable users from building managers to occupants in shared residency to farmers— without expertise in mechanical engineering, robotics, or AI— to identify and act on opportunities to enhance accessibility, sustainability, and interactivity in their daily surroundings.
