Welcome to the Miniature Soft Robotics Lab at Nanyang Technological University (NTU). Our mission here is to design novel, functional soft robots that are able to manipulate miniature objects effectively. To enhance their practicality, the control and fabrication aspects of these robots will also be accounted for during the design process. We envision that these miniature robots would have great potential to make significant impact pertaining to manufacturing, material science and biomedical research.
