Roboticist working on soft robotics, reconfigurable robots, artificial muscle, dynamics and control

We developed a tunable perching mechanism for aerial robots using a bistable mechanism + Shape Memory Alloy actuators. It enables fast, robust perching on smooth, tilted surfaces—no precise orientation control needed. #Robotics #AerialRobots #SoftRobotics #Drones #Perching

This aerial robot lands and attaches to surfaces using a tunable perching mechanism. This design adapts to varying contact speeds and misalignments, expanding applications in environmental monitoring and infrastructure inspection. Find out more: ow.ly/wpup50VOwKH

Have you ever played with a slap bracelet? From a straight shape, it quickly curls around your wrist. Using this concept, we've developed bistable grippers that automatically close upon contact. Check it out here: ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/docum…

But have you ever seen a robot do this? @CSUMechEngr develops morphing robots with gripping, climbing, and flattening capabilities that mimic natural organisms. 🤖🦾 col.st/5NJ50 #UnitedinDiscovery | #ResearchCSU @CSUEngineering @ColoradoStateU

.@JiefengS, @Zhao_Robotics et al. from @ColoradoStateU @CSUEngineering @CSUMechEngr propose an embedded method, enabling robots to adapt to environments or tasks by changing their #morphologies through embedded #actuation, #sensing, and #shape locking. nature.com/articles/s4146…


Excited to announce our results on shape-morphing robots, published in @NatureComms: rdcu.be/dm9DN Special gratitude to my exceptional students: @JiefengS, soon-to-be Assistant Professor at ASU, and E. Lerner, B. Tighe, and C. Middlemist. #Robot #research #morphing
