Evolutionary, deVelopmental, and Adaptive Robotics Laboratory

About EVARL

We develop musculoskeletal humanoids, wire-driven robots, and open-source robotic platforms to explore how intelligence emerges from embodiment, biomechanics, and sensorimotor learning. Our goal is to build next-generation intelligent robots that integrate body design, neural control, and large-scale learning.
