About
Dr. Bilal Gormus is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of soft robotics and marine engineering, with a primary focus on developing gentle, adaptive manipulation systems for underwater environments. His most significant contribution to date is the design and integration of an additively manufactured soft pneumatic gripper onto a Remotely Operated Underwater Vehicle (ROV), specifically engineered for the delicate task of grasping archaeological remains. This work, published in 2023, addresses a critical gap in underwater robotics: conventional rigid grippers often damage fragile artifacts, whereas Gormus’s soft, pneumatically actuated design provides the compliance and force control necessary for safe, non-destructive handling. While his citation count is still growing—reflecting the recent and highly specialized nature of his research—the work has already garnered attention for its practical application in marine archaeology and its innovative use of additive manufacturing to create complex, soft structures. Dr. Gormus’s research is not only advancing the field of soft robotics but also enabling new, more careful methods for exploring and preserving our underwater cultural heritage.
