Work
Mason's work is organized around five topics:
- Mechanics of manipulation: modeling the physics of manipulation and how these models translates into implementation in robots.
- Robotic origami: the problem of origami as a challenging manipulation task for robots.
- Manipulation without hands: manipulation with a set of resources instead of just a manipulation subsystem (an arm).
- Locomotion without legs: exploiting all available resources for locomotion, similar to manipulation without hands
- Shortest paths for mobile robots: finding time optimal paths for robot motion.

Famous quotes containing the word work:
“A great world leader is gone. Liberty loving people around the globe are sad tonight. We are strengthened in the thought of President Roosevelts work for little people everywhere.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (19081973)
“In some withdrawn, unpublic mead
Let me sigh upon a reed,
Or in the woods, with leafy din,
Whisper the still evening in:
Some still work give me to do,
Onlybe it near to you!
For Id rather be thy child
And pupil, in the forest wild,
Than be the king of men elsewhere,
And most sovereign slave of care:
To have one moment of thy dawn,
Than share the citys year forlorn.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to do all the work by myself? Tell her then to help me.”
—Bible: New Testament, Luke 10:40.
