About

Muhammad Muqeet Rehman is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of soft robotics, sustainable sensing, and energy harvesting. His work is defined by a commitment to replacing conventional, resource-intensive technologies with bio-inspired, environmentally friendly alternatives. Rehman’s most influential contribution is his landmark 2018 review on “3D printing for soft robotics,” which has garnered over 419 citations and established him as a key voice in addressing the fabrication challenges of highly flexible, safe robotic systems. He has since advanced the field by developing hierarchical porous sensors from biowaste, creating dual-function devices that simultaneously monitor humidity and pressure for applications in robotic tactile sensing and sustainable health monitoring. His innovative use of natural, hierarchically structured porous dielectrics has led to low-cost, biocompatible pressure sensors capable of gesture recognition and spatial pressure distribution mapping. Looking toward the future, Rehman is also exploring the use of triboelectric nanogenerators for space missions, aiming to power extraterrestrial systems under extreme conditions. Through his work, Rehman is driving a paradigm shift toward greener, more accessible technologies in robotics and environmental monitoring.
