About
Pawandeep Singh Matharu is a leading researcher in bioinspired soft robotics, specializing in the design and fabrication of soft, biomimetic robots for underwater exploration, environmental monitoring, and medical assistance. His major contributions center on the development and application of twisted and coiled polymer (TCP) artificial muscles as silent, compliant actuators. Matharu pioneered the creation of jellyfish-inspired soft robots, including SoJel and the Jelly-Z series, which demonstrate silent underwater actuation and integrated vision systems for environmental sensing. His work on the Jelly-Z robot has garnered over 34 citations, while SoJel has received 38 citations, highlighting their impact on the field. Beyond aquatic robots, Matharu has advanced soft robotic hands for drug delivery and socially assistive robotics, notably the HBS-1.2 robot with a 6-ply TCP-actuated hand. He has also developed morphing soft structures with embedded electrothermal artificial muscles and touch/temperature sensors for delicate object manipulation. With over 10 publications and a growing citation record, Matharu’s innovations in soft actuation and 3D-printed compliant structures are shaping the future of safe, silent, and biomimetic robotic systems.
