He received his Ph.D. and M.S. degrees from Carnegie Mellon University and an SB from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His research focuses on understanding the fundamental mechanics of locomotion and sensory perception, making advances in mathematical theory accessible to an engineering audience, and on finding abstractions that facilitate human control of unconventional locomotors. Hatton’s research group also works with local industry to transfer modern developments in robotics from the lab to the factory or into commercial production. Hatton is a 2017 recipient of an NSF CAREER Award. Related Links
