Our research focuses on bio-inspired mechatronic systems that take inspiration from how natural systems work. In biological systems, materials are often soft. As a result, they can adapt, respond, and interact efficiently with complex environments. However, reproducing these properties in engineered systems remains a challenge, especially when moving beyond traditional rigid devices.
Recent advances in materials science, particularly in soft and stimuli-responsive materials, open new possibilities. By combining these materials with modern fabrication methods and system design approaches, we aim to develop next-generation soft mechatronic systems. In particular, these systems are relevant for applications in robotics, sensing, and biomedical technologies.
