About

Simone Duretto is a researcher at the forefront of soft robotics, with a focus on sustainable and intelligent actuation and sensing systems. Their work centers on developing novel soft pneumatic actuators that are not only functional but also environmentally conscious. Duretto’s major contribution includes the design of a bi-directional pneumatic actuator for sustainable robotic systems, which employs antagonistic chambers and bellows geometries to achieve linear motion in both directions—a significant step toward more versatile and eco-friendly robotic components. This work has already garnered early attention with 2 citations. Additionally, Duretto’s research on soft pneumatic sensing chambers for robotic grasping demonstrates their commitment to integrating sensing directly into soft structures, enhancing the dexterity and autonomy of robotic hands. By merging actuation and sensing in compliant, low-impact materials, Duretto is helping to pave the way for a new generation of robots that are safer, more adaptable, and kinder to the planet. Their innovative approach promises to inspire future developments in sustainable robotics.
