About
Laurent Dejace is a leading researcher in soft robotics, with a focus on the design and control of compliant, flexible systems. His work centers on developing novel actuation and sensing strategies to overcome the inherent challenges of controlling soft, deformable structures. Dejace’s major contribution lies in the integration of functional materials for bi-modal control, as demonstrated in his highly cited 2019 paper on vacuum-powered soft pneumatic actuators with embedded liquid metal-based strain sensitive skin. This work, which has garnered 8 citations, presents a key advancement in creating soft robots that can both sense and respond to their environment, enabling more adaptive and robust behaviors. By combining active and passive deformable structures with embedded sensing, Dejace has addressed a critical bottleneck in the field: the difficulty of precise control in highly compliant systems. His research is foundational for the next generation of soft robots, promising safer and more intuitive interactions in applications ranging from medical devices to human-robot collaboration.
