Personal profile
Research interests
My research on soft robotics, robotic moblity and healthcare technologies uses biological inspiration to solve challenging engineering problems. The integration of elasticity and compliance into systems such robots is central to this, driven by the potential for great improvements in human-robot interaction and robot mobility in unstructured environments.
