RESEARCH TOPICS
Robophysics studies how physical bodies, materials, and control jointly produce intelligent behaviour. I design soft and bio-inspired systems that sense, move, and interact in unstructured environments.
RESEARCH DIRECTIONS
Six connected directions, from new materials to complete robotic systems.
Meta-structures, soft actuators, and musculoskeletal robots with programmable morphology. I study how geometry, material anisotropy, and lattice architecture can be co-designed to make soft machines strong, compliant, and predictable.
Tactile and biosensors that extend robotic perception beyond human and natural sensing. The work spans optical/electronic artificial skin, granular organogels, and multi-sensory e-skins that can be printed or worn.
Translate principles from biology, anatomy, and physiology into integrated robotic systems.
Masticatory robots and sensing systems for food processing and agricultural inspection, including optical methods for fruit properties and impurity detection.
How body morphology, material architecture, and control jointly produce intelligent behaviour. I study embodied sensing, morphological computation, and adaptive locomotion in unstructured environments.
New questions, cross-disciplinary collaborations.
COLLABORATE
I am always happy to discuss new ideas, sensing challenges, and possible collaborations.
