The SpikeATac research featured was led by Engineering doctoral students Eric Chang and Peter Ballentine, with Zhanpeng He spearheading the reinforcement learning fine-tuning that enabled motor learning on the sensor. Kai Jiang, Hua-Hsuan Liang, and William Hong Qin Wang also made key contributions to that effort. Do-Gon Kim led the parallel gripper integration and fast-grasping experiments, while the multifingered robot hand used throughout the study was designed and built by Joaquin Palacios, with Pedro Piacenza developing the mechatronics and firmware.
