Designing tunable and reconfigurable soft sensors and robots<\/strong><\/h4>\nPhysically-soft mechanical sensors and actuators are poised to unlock exciting new applications in wearable devices, robotics, and human-machine interfaces. A challenge of these soft-material devices is defining and reconfiguring their properties to suit the target application.<\/p>\n
In this talk, I will discuss challenges and recent work related to designing and controlling origami-patterned sensors and actuators and additive manufacturing approaches for wearable devices and sensors. I will also present work in enhancing the stability and mechanical selectivity of stretchable sensors and discuss applications for such sensors in wearable healthcare applications and soft robotics.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nKris Dorsey<\/strong> is an associate professor in the departments of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Physical Therapy, Movement, and Rehabilitation Sciences at Northeastern University. Previously, she was a President\u2019s Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of California, Berkeley and University of California, San Diego, a faculty member in the Picker Engineering Program at Smith College, and an MLK Visiting Associate Professor at the Media Lab at MIT. Dr. Dorsey graduated from Carnegie Mellon University with a Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering and earned her Bachelors of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Olin College. Her current research interests include reconfigurable, novel morphology, and active soft sensors and the design of soft sensors for soft robot actuators and wearable medical and rehabilitation devices.<\/p>\nFaculty Host:<\/strong> Andrew Sabelhaus
