Monolithic pneumatic unit cells embedded in curved-strut lattices achieve distributed morphology — bending, grasping, and locomotion — through spatial actuation patterns alone.
A monolithic actuator–lattice–sensor building block (MU) with simulation-informed optical waveguide placement to preserve mechanical response.
A monolithic elephant-inspired gripper integrating optical sensing for contact-rich manipulation.
A bidirectional soft actuator architecture using agonist–antagonist pouch motors and thermoelectric control to achieve tunable force, stiffness, and dynamic response.
A thermoactive variable impedance module using phase-transition polycaprolactone to tune shear stiffness via embedded thermoelectric actuation.
Force-plate signals → interpretable features and models to estimate UPDRS motor symptom severity.
