Academic Achievements
- GreenFjord Project: A four-year research program intended to investigate how climate change is affecting ecosystems in southern Greenland. The scientists just completed a first intensive field season where they won over the local residents.
- Mori3: A polygon shapeshifting robot for space travel.
- EPFL spin-off's tiny robots turn heads in Las Vegas: Tiny robots developed by EPFL spin-off Foldaway Haptics were the center of attention at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The 33 “bionic flaps,” installed on a concept car from German manufacturer Mercedes-Benz, moves bodywork parts in response to the driver’s decisions and interacts with the public.
Research Experience
- Current Activities: Building up on our previous origami robots, we present a new untethered version of Tribot, a modular origami robot Mori, and virtual reality interfaces to control them. We are incorporating soft actuators into wearable devices and have created new soft actuator modules based on vacuum. Besides our efforts to create origami and soft robots, we have also been focusing on applications of our technologies with our spin-off Foldaway.
Background
- Research Interests: Design, actuation, fabrication, and control of unique robotic systems. Professional Field: Inventing interactive robotic systems with novel fabrication techniques and integration processes that push the limits of mechanical properties. Summary: Focused on creating soft, reconfigurable, and interactive robots that are highly conscious of the environment and have extensive applications in wearable technology, medical/rehabilitation systems, and personal robots.
