About
Mohammad Souri is a leading researcher in soft robotics and fluid-driven systems, with a focus on developing compact, high-performance actuation technologies. His most-cited work, "A compact DEA-based soft peristaltic pump for power and control of fluidic robots" (2023, 89 citations), addresses a critical bottleneck in the field: the reliance on bulky, rigid power supplies that constrain robot mobility and flexibility. Souri’s major contribution lies in designing a low-profile, dielectric elastomer actuator (DEA)-based peristaltic pump that overcomes the limitations of previous soft pumps, which were either restricted to specific working fluids or produced insufficient flow rates and pressures. This innovation enables more efficient, untethered control of fluidic robots, advancing their practical application in medical devices, search-and-rescue, and industrial automation. By integrating power and control into a single soft platform, Souri’s work has significant implications for the next generation of autonomous, compliant robots. His research continues to push the boundaries of soft actuation, earning recognition for its potential to transform how robots interact with delicate environments and human users.
