Abstract:

Innovation in soft sensor and actuator technologies is extremely important for future robots for increased human-safety and human-robot interaction. This talk will describe the design and manufacturing processes for developing biologically inspired soft robots, including: i) hyperelastic artificial skin sensors with multi-modal sensing capability; ii) smart pneumatic artificial muscle actuators inspired by biological muscles; and iii) soft robots integrated with the soft sensors and actuators as application systems. The talk will also discuss novel manufacturing technologies for building multi-material, multi-functional, smart composite soft microstructures.
