About
Hayden Randles is a researcher specializing in soft robotics and sensor development, with a particular focus on creating novel deformation sensors for highly compliant systems. His most significant contribution lies in the design and characterization of a deformation sensor based on light attenuation within a silicone waveguide, detailed in his 2019 paper. This work addresses a critical challenge in soft robotics: the need for sensors that can accurately measure large displacements and extensions, which conventional capacitive and resistive sensors cannot achieve. By exploiting optical principles within flexible materials, Randles’ sensor enables precise force and position control for soft robotic actuators and configurations. While his work has accumulated 3 citations, its foundational nature positions it as a key reference for researchers seeking to integrate robust sensing into stretchable, compliant robotic systems. Randles’ research bridges the gap between material science and practical robotics, offering a pathway toward more responsive and controllable soft machines.
