Just How Safe Are Soft Robots?
Sabelhaus and students are working on novel ways to improve how soft robots are controlled.
NSF CAREER Award for Sabelhaus
Safer human-robot interactions in the future could make health care “less expensive and a lot more accessible.”
Converging on Training Tomorrow’s Bioengineers
With an NSF grant, a BU program will train a diverse group of PhD students for tomorrow’s workforce in biotech, synthetic biology, and other sectors.
Sabelhaus Research: Advancing the Safety of Soft Robots for Human Interactions
The emergence of soft robots will enable safe human interactions which will allow robots to assist in the industrial, medical, automotive and space industries. College of Engineering Professor Andrew Sabelhaus (ME, SE), has been working on making soft robots safer to improve these human interaction tasks, in areas such as medicine, as well as explore difficult or dangerous locations. His work will help improve the design of many other soft robots.
