Soft Robotics

We contribute to advancing the understanding of soft robotics and developing effective control strategies for various dexterous soft robotic systems.

This research focuses on the modeling, control, and manipulation of soft robotic systems, with an emphasis on uncertainty mitigation and robust stabilization. The study aims to develop advanced control strategies utilizing stretchable soft sensors for closed-loop feedback, achieve dexterous and precise manipulation of hybrid rigid-soft robotic systems, and design control algorithms for swing-up and stabilization of underactuated soft robots.
