Blister Labs: Travis Hainsworth on Soft Robotics, MoCap, & Wheelsets
Travis Hainsworth is a whole lot of fun. And when he’s not out on his highly questionable one-ski quiver, he’s busy being the associate director of the Western-CU Boulder Computer Science Program here in Gunnison, CO, and an integral member of our Blister Labs team. So in this conversation, we’re talking “SoRo”;” MoCap”; wheelset testing; his dream of becoming the first Red-Bull-sponsored mathematician; and more.TOPICS & TIMES:Subarus, Bourbon, & Travis’ One-Ski Quiver (7:29)“Soft Robots” (11:37)Dirt Biking, Broken Bones, & Mechanical Engineering (18:47)Fur-Lined Hoods & Travis's Ski Set Up (24:45)Blister Labs Wheel Testing (28:48)Extracting the Data & What We're Trying To Learn (43:33)Red Bull Sponsored Mathematicians (46:24)System Dynamics & Intro To Robotics Courses (49:03)When Results?
