Research
The dynamics of individual and collectives of of organisms and robots on and within complex materials.
Goldman's research program broadly investigates the interaction of biological and physical systems with complex materials. In particular, we integrate laboratory experiment, computer simulation, and robophysical and mathematical models to discover principles of movement of a diversity of animals and robots in controlled laboratory substrates. We also study the dynamics of collectives of organisms and robots. We seek to commercilize our discoveries via our startup company Ground Control Robotics.
