About

Anthony Reyna is a researcher at the intersection of soft robotics, embedded systems, and experiential engineering education. Based at the Robotics Automation and Manufacturing (RAM) Laboratory, his work centers on developing accessible, hands-on learning projects that introduce undergraduate students to the principles of soft robotics and automation. His most-cited paper, "Introductory Experiential Learning Projects Using Soft Robotics and Embedded Systems" (2022), outlines a novel curriculum for exchange students, blending soft robotic actuators with embedded control systems to foster practical skills in automation. While his citation count is still growing, Reyna’s contributions are notable for their educational impact: by lowering the barrier to entry for complex robotics topics, he is shaping how future engineers engage with cutting-edge manufacturing technologies. His work at the RAM Lab underscores a commitment to bridging theory and practice, making him a key figure in the push for more inclusive, project-based learning in robotics.
