Covers the introduction to Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS), including operating principles, elements, scaling laws, silicon choice, sensors, and actuators.
Explores self-sensing cantilevers in Scanning Probe Microscopy and the advantages of integrated sensor-actuator systems for high-speed data collection.
Explores autonomously moving and assembling soft matter systems, focusing on hydrogel actuators, latch-mediated spring actuation, and self-spinning filament bundles.
