By merging the fields of soft robotics, material science, and intelligent control, we are creating a holistic solution designed to physically assist the upper limb motions of workers and individuals with musculoskeletal conditions

Enabling the sense of palpation in Minimally Invasive Surgery through a novel tactile sensing probe 

The SWAG project is a multidisciplinary initiative in the field of soft robotics, focusing on the development of lower limb exosuits: soft wearable exoskeletal robots to empower the lower body and core.

ARISE aims to realise a soft robotic platform that focuses on two crucial industrial sectors that can drive the European Green Deal progress, namely Energy and Agriculture.

We present the design and development of the fluid-driven, wearable, Soft Poly-Limb (SPL), from the Greek word polys, meaning many. The SPL utilizes the numerous traits of soft robotics to... 

We developed and evaluated a soft-knee exosuit powered by inflatable actuators with the aim to provide knee-extension moment, and assist with rehabilitation and assisted living tasks...

In this work we design soft grippers made with high-strength inflatable fabrics, offering variable range of compliance, lightweight designs, and high strength-to-weight ratios...

This work presents a portable, soft robotic glove designed to augment hand rehabilitation and/or offer assistance to individuals with functional grasp pathologies...

Closing small defects in the body typically requires stitching of tissues during surgery. We engineered a balloon catheter with a reflective surface...

Soft robots actuated by inflation of a pneumatic network (a “pneu-net”) of small channels in elastomeric materials are appealing for producing sophisticated motions with simple controls...

We present the design, fabrication, and evaluation of fabric-reinforced textile actuators, which are capable of performing a variety and combination of motions...

Soft fluidic actuators consisting of elastomeric matrices with embedded flexible materials are of particular interest to the robotics community because... 

The wearable gait analysis system highlighted in this project is designed to monitor running gait without extensive equipment...

The mechanical contact of the catheter tip with the cardiac walls is missing parameter that could quantify the quality of an ablation point and thus make the procedure more reliable...

While MIS provides a number of benefits over traditional open surgeries—including reduced pain and recovery times—significant time is spent mobilizing organs and retracting them...
