Soft robots, whose bodies are made from stretchable and compliant materials, have the potential to be safe and effective collaborators with humans. Despite societal needs for safe, collaborative robotic devices and a proliferation of promising concepts, soft robots are not yet present in the applications where they might be most useful. My research bridges robotics, solid mechanics, optimization, and machine learning to discover the fundamentals of soft robotics. Our group uses concurrent experimental and theoretical approaches to understand and develop compliant and continuous robotic systems.
