At Smart Materials and Robotic Technologies (SMART) Lab, we design, synthesize and manufacture Intelligent materials and robotic technologies. We achieve this by taking inspiration from nature and its evolutionary designs and then perform design optimization studies to engineer systems superior to nature.
In this regard, our research is at the intersection of Mechanical metamaterials, multifunctional soft machines and manufacturing.

Intelligent Materials
Architectural Intelligence - Metamaterials
The traditional materials do not entirely map the material-property space and are limited in their available properties. The way to overcome this limitation is to explore architectured materials. Architectured materials or Mechanical metamaterials derive their unique properties from the microstructural geometry/architecture rather than their chemical composition.

Multifunctional Soft Machines
In robotics, there is broad interest in bioinspired compliant and soft systems due to their healthy human-robot interaction, multifunctionality, and their capability to conform to a shape. Mimicking the multifunctionality, robustness, and conformability of natural systems has been limited due to (i) the availability of systematic design tools and (ii) the lack of synergy between the materials, mechanisms (actuation), and manufacturing. Our research group will develop bio-inspired and multifunctional soft machines for the ultimate goal of safe human-robot interaction.
