About
Jin-Huat Low is a robotics researcher specializing in soft robotics, with a particular focus on soft robotic grippers, haptic systems, and human-robot interaction. His work sits at the intersection of compliant robotic design, sensing technologies, and real-world manipulation applications, spanning domains from surgical robotics to food handling automation. Low's most influential contribution, a hybrid tele-manipulation system combining a 3D-printed soft robotic gripper with a fabric-based haptic glove, has garnered 106 citations and demonstrated the potential of soft robotic systems to deliver intuitive, feedback-rich remote manipulation. This work set a strong foundation for subsequent research, including his widely cited sensorized reconfigurable soft gripper for food handling (95 citations), which addressed the practical challenge of safely grasping fragile, irregularly shaped objects like tofu and broccoli. His portfolio also highlights significant contributions to surgical robotics, where he designed pneumatic soft grippers to minimize iatrogenic damage during delicate nerve repair procedures. More recently, his kirigami-inspired 3D-printable actuators with multiple deformation modes reflect a creative, fabrication-forward approach to expanding soft robot dexterity. Across his body of work, Low consistently bridges innovative design with applied utility, accumulating over 400 citations and establishing himself as a compelling voice in the growing soft robotics community.
