Title: Soft Robotics and Its Potentials in Industry and Research
Date: Thursday, 16 December 2021
Time: 4:00 PM (Malaysian Standard Time)

Overview: In the last decade, research on robots at least partially made of soft materials has gained increasing interest. It is expected that this emerging field, commonly known as soft robotics, can help realize robotic systems that are safer, cheaper, and more adaptable than the level that the conventional rigid-material robots can achieve. This talk will outline the motivation, challenges and potential applications of soft robotics in various fields. In the second part of this talk, we will focus on a challenge related to sensor integration in soft robotics, and explain the concept and implementation of indirect sensing as our proposed solution to address the challenge.
