Sensor and Actuator Services
Soft Sensor & Actuator Development
Soft Sensors
Single or multifunctional devices based on Polymer nanocomposites, smart polymeric materials, or copolymers, etc. Applications: smell sensors, airborne particle sensors, electronic skin, smart textiles, wearables, etc.
Soft Actuators
Soft materials that mimic natural systems or organisms using polymeric materials. Applications: soft grippers, soft robotics, animatronics, etc.
Software & Hardware design for sensors and systems
Machine Learning Algorithms
We are developing various machine learning algorithms based on GNN, MPNN, temporal CNN, Vision Transformers, etc.
Hardware Architecture Design and Integration
With new approaches to computing involving ML and
reprogrammable hardware systems, the implementations of hardware and software are becoming more flexible.
Systems Integration
We are integrating our solutions into the development of unique sensor systems such as advanced ultrasonic and computer vision.
Ongoing Projects

Multi-energy Domain modeling & curriculum dev. Services
Multi-Energy Domain Engineering System Modeling
Multi-energy domain systems
modeling, simulation, and analysis of mechatronics systems using the bond graph approach. Our approach allows for modeling and simulation of chemical and some biological systems such as those related to the ATP cycle, MAPK cascades processes, etc. from a pure energy generation, use, and storage perspective.
Curriculum Development
Interactive, cloud-based simulation books for high student engagement. Project-based curriciulum development for mechatronic and smart system courses and labs. For example: Lab-in-a-book textbooks, smart manufactuing, or mechatronic courses and labs.
