Summary
Dylan Brenneis is an interdisciplinary roboticist and MFA graduate student who blends eight years of hands-on robotics and prosthetics research with art-driven inquiry into human–machine ecologies. His work spans academic research at the University of Alberta and industry experience as a roboticist at DeepMind, where he developed hardware and systems for AI-driven manipulation and prosthetic control. Trained as a mechanical engineer (BSc, MSc) and maker of 3D‑printed robotic hands, he favors real-world, people-centered experimentation over lab-only validation. A vocal supporter of open content, he publishes his creations online and applies research-creation methods from fine art to probe future interactions between humans and machines.
