The most sought-after pursuits in science and engineering to attain multifunctionality and multicontrollability in material and robotic domains are (a) taking inspiration from nature and its evolutionary designs and (b) engineering the designs superior to natural systems.
In Smart Materials and Robotic Technologies (SMART) lab, our research on mechanical metamaterials and soft robots encompasses both these pursuits towards realizing intelligent material and robotic systems embedded with actuators, sensors, and controls to achieve designs that parallel natural systems and beyond.
