Our Research

Nature-inspired Sensorware

Our group aims to develop core platform technologies that enables Embodied Artificial Intelligence and that are Sustainable.

Nature ensures survival by endowing complex living organisms with distinct skin sensors that have very high complexity. These structures enable skin sensors, for example, to be highly strain sensitive, and communicate in real time pertinent environment information. Endowing artificial systems with cutting-edge hapto-tactile capabilities could impact several areas such as next generation human-like robotic assistants, immersive virtual reality, smarter human-machine interfaces, wearable technologies and life-like prosthetics. The ability to self-repair in these devices will also be critical to enable greater environment sustainability as we continue to utilise the advances such technologies offer the human race.
