About
Moritz A. Graule is a leading researcher at the intersection of soft robotics, bio-inspired design, and marine engineering. His work is defined by three core contributions: enabling aerial robots to perch using switchable electrostatic adhesion (402 citations), pioneering the shipboard 3D printing of soft manipulators for delicate deep-sea organism sampling (94 citations), and advancing soft robotic grasping through multi-segment fingers (122 citations) and active palm designs. Graule has also made significant strides in increasing the payload capacity of soft arms via localized stiffening (59 citations) and in developing simulation toolkits like SoMo and SoMoGym (over 76 combined citations) to accelerate soft robot design and control. His recent work on 3D knitting for pneumatic soft robotics (87 citations) and geometrically grounding large language models for human-aware task planning (15 citations) showcases his expanding influence into fabrication and AI-driven robotics. With over 870 total citations across his top papers, Graule’s research is shaping the future of robots that can safely interact with fragile environments—from the air to the deep sea.
