Strategic Objectives
• Master the principles of fluidic logic to create autonomous soft systems.
• Design complex oscillators and amplifiers using only air and liquid.
• Build 'electronics-free' sensors that respond directly to their environment.
• Reduce system weight and complexity by merging power and logic.
The Core Challenge
Traditional electronics fail in high-radiation, underwater, and high-interference environments, while rigid processors stifle the natural flexibility of soft robotics.
