Laboratory Overview	A quest for soft and wet machines Robots are integrated systems of mechanical engineering, control engineering, electronics and information engineering. Recently, researches of soft robots using soft materials get attention since soft robots produce unique motions that hard robots don’t. Robots become sophisticated, and robotic design have become complex because of the advance of technologies such as ultra-miniaturization of semiconductor devices and progress of microfabrication technologies. We study autonomous machines based on "Soft materials” to overcome the complexities in machines and robots.
