495: Shortcut the Difficulties of Reality

Professor Cindy Harnett spoke to us about new and different sensors and actuators, primarily designed for soft robotics and fabricated with relatively low cost materials.

Cindy is a professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Louisville where she runs the Harnett Lab.

The papers we discussed are here. You can find a longer list of Cindy's papers on Google Scholar. The video of the SESAME actuator is especially interesting.
