SUMMARY:MEAM Seminar: "Soft-Matter Engineering for Robotics and Wearables"
DESCRIPTION:Progress in soft lithography and soft materials integration have led to extraordinary new classes of soft-matter sensors\, circuits\, and transducers. These material technologies are composed almost entirely out of soft matter – elastomers\, gels\, and conductive fluids like eutectic gallium-indium (EGaIn) – and represent the building blocks for machines and electronics that are soft\, flexible\, and stretchable. Because of their intrinsic compliance and elasticity\, such devices can be incorporated into soft\, biologically-inspired robots or be worn on the body and operate continuously without impairing natural body motion. In this talk\, I will review recent contributions from my research group in creating soft multifunctional materials for wearable electronics and soft robotics using these emerging practices in “soft-matter engineering.” In particular\, I will focus on elastomer composites and microfluidic EGaIn architectures for highly stretchable digital electronics\, wearable energy harvesting\, and electrically-responsive actuation. When possible\, I will relate the design and operation of these soft-matter technologies to underlying principles of soft matter physics and practices in controls and machine. In addition to presenting my own research in the field\, I will also briefly review broader efforts and emerging challenges in utilizing soft multifunctional materials for applications in wearable electronics\, bioelectronic interfaces\, and soft robotics.
