About

In the Soft Robotic Transducers (SoRT) Lab, we are developing a new generation of soft actuators, sensors, and energy harvesting components with multifunctional properties. We not only accept intrinsic compliance and sensitivity of soft smart materials to the variety of environmental stimulations, but rather embrace them as the main tool to develop multifunctional transducers for soft robots. Synergistic integration of various material, structural and physical functionalities enables us to introduce compact, adaptable, and energy-efficient solutions for soft implantable and wearable devices. This approach also paves the way to introduce the new generation of monolithic soft micro-robotic systems, transforming our future robotic organisms.
