Soft Aerial Robotics
Soft-bodied aerial robots that embed physical intelligence into their structure. By replacing rigid airframes with compliant, morphing geometries, these platforms can collide, perch, and adapt where conventional drones cannot.
Soft-Bodied Aerial Robot for Collision Resilience and Contact-Reactive Perching
A soft-bodied flyer that survives high-speed collisions and grasps branches on contact. Featured on the front cover of Soft Robotics in 2023.
Metamorphic Aerial Robot for Mid-air Shape Morphing
An aerial robot capable of mid-flight shape change for rapid perching on tree branches and irregular surfaces.
