Hamed Rajabi

Hamed Rajabi is the founder and director of the Mechanical Intelligence (MI) Research Group at London South Bank University. His research focuses on mechanical intelligence, exploring how intelligence can emerge from the complex interaction of material and structure, and how these principles can be formalized and then embedded directly into engineering systems. He argues that the future of robotics lies in creating smarter bodies that can passively and efficiently adapt to their environment, rather than relying solely on increasingly complex and energy-intensive AI.
