About
Yogesh Chandra is a researcher at the forefront of soft robotics and bio-inspired actuation, with a primary focus on dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) and their application in prosthetic, orthotic, and bio-robotic systems. His most cited work, "The Use of Dielectric Elastomer Actuators for Prosthetic, Orthotic and Bio-Robotic Applications" (2018, 7 citations), provides a foundational characterization of commercially available acrylic DE films through rigorous experimental testing—including uniaxial tensile and compression tests, as well as electrically actuated strain analysis. This study is critical for understanding the mechanical and electrical behavior of DEAs, offering essential data for engineers designing compliant, muscle-like actuators for assistive devices. Chandra’s contributions bridge materials science and biomedical engineering, advancing the development of lightweight, flexible, and high-performance actuators that mimic natural muscle movement. His work has implications for next-generation rehabilitation technologies and human-robot interaction, positioning him as a key contributor to the growing field of soft robotics. With a focus on practical, application-driven research, Chandra continues to explore how smart materials can transform assistive technologies.
