    Bio-Inspired Soft Robotics: New Ways of Sensing and Actuation
    Yong-Lae Park
    Assistant Professor, Carnegie Mellon, Robotics Institute

    September 19, 2014

    Abstract
    Innovation in sensing and actuation technologies is extremely important for future robots with human-like or human-involved applications, such as wearable robotics, rehabilitation robotics, surgical robotics, humanoids, haptics, tele-robotics where close interactions between human and machines are critical.

    This talk will describe the novel design and manufacturing processes for developing smart robotic structures with soft materials, and examples of robotic systems integrated with soft sensors and actuators, focusing on three specific areas: artificial skin sensors, artificial muscle actuators, and soft robots for human assistance and rehabilitation. Advanced manufacturing technologies for building multi-material and multi-functional 3-D soft smart composite microstructures will be also discussed during the talk.

    Speaker Biography
    Yong-Lae Park is an Assistant Professor in the Robotics Institute and the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). Prior to joining CMU in 2013, Prof. Park completed his Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford University, in 2010, and conducted postdoctoral research in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University. He is founder of the CMU Soft Robotics and Bionics Laboratory. His current research interests include artificial skins and muscles, soft robots, wearable devices and robots, and smart structures and materials. He is the winner of the Best Paper Award from the IEEE Sensors Journal, in 2013, a NASA Tech Brief Award from the NASA Johnson Space Center, in 2012, and a Technology Development Fellowship for independent postdoctoral research from the Wyss Institute at Harvard University, in 2010. His recent paper on soft artificial skin was selected as a cover article of the IEEE Sensors Journal, and his work on soft wearable robots was recently featured in Discovery News and New Scientist.

    Softer, More Human Robots

    Published on Jul 23, 2015

    Robots made entirely out of soft materials could be real game-changers. They could integrate more easily with human activities ranging from the ordinary to the exceptional.

    A group of engineers at Carnegie Mellon University is working to make such soft robots a hard reality.

    Octopus-like electroluminescent skin

    Published on Mar 3, 2016

    Researchers developed an artificial skin that can stretch, sense pressure and emit light, demonstrating a level of multi-functionality seen in the skin of cephalopods like octopuses. A soft robot demonstrates these combined capabilities by stretching and emitting light as it moves.
