About
Miguel Felipe Nery Vieira is a rising voice in the intersection of additive manufacturing and soft robotics, a field dedicated to creating flexible, human-safe machines capable of navigating complex environments. His most cited work, a comprehensive 2023 literature review, systematically maps how 3D printing techniques are revolutionizing the fabrication of soft robots, from industrial-sized machines to applications in confined spaces and uneven terrain. By synthesizing the main techniques, materials, and real-world uses, Vieira provides a critical roadmap for researchers seeking to move beyond rigid robotics. While his citation count is still growing—a hallmark of an early-career researcher—this review serves as a foundational reference for those entering the field, highlighting the scalability and industrial potential of additive manufacturing in soft robotics. His work underscores a pivotal shift: the move toward robots that can work alongside humans safely, exploring dangerous environments and solving problems their rigid counterparts cannot. Vieira’s contributions are poised to influence both academic research and practical engineering in the years ahead.
