About

Carine Rognon is a leading researcher in soft robotics and haptic interfaces, with a focus on creating intuitive, wearable technologies for human-robot interaction. Her work spans key areas including teleoperation, haptic feedback, and bio-inspired actuation, where she has pioneered novel approaches to make robotic control more natural and accessible. Rognon’s most impactful contributions include developing cable-driven exosuits for drone teleoperation, which leverage haptic guidance to reduce operator error—a concept demonstrated in her highly cited 2019 paper (22 citations). She also introduced printable pneumatic artificial muscles for anatomy-based humanoid robots (2015, 21 citations), offering unprecedented design flexibility for bio-inspired machines. Her variable stiffness strip technology (2018, 18 citations) addresses critical challenges in wearable robotics by combining strength and comfort through layer jamming. More recently, Rognon has advanced touch gesture recognition using deep learning on distributed force data (2022, 8 citations), and developed multichannel pneumatic analog control systems for richer haptic displays (2021, 8 citations). Her work is distinguished by its practical impact, with applications ranging from assistive exoskeletons to immersive teleoperation, consistently pushing the boundaries of how humans and robots collaborate through touch.
