About

Debasrita Kar is an emerging researcher whose work sits at the dynamic intersection of soft robotics, flexible sensing, and human-machine interaction. Her research focuses on developing innovative sensing solutions for soft robotic systems, with a particular emphasis on bend angle measurement and flexible sensor technologies. Kar's most notable contribution is her development of a magnetic coupling-based segmented bend angle sensor utilizing planar coils on flexible printed circuit boards — a design that enables accurate, real-time measurement of soft robotic gripper motion across multiple finger regions. This work has garnered 13 citations since its 2024 publication, reflecting strong early interest from the robotics community. Complementing this, her planar coil-based inductive bend sensor offers an elegantly simple yet effective approach to monitoring deformation in soft structures. Her 2022 review on flexible sensors for soft robotics, which has accumulated 11 citations, demonstrates her broad command of the field and serves as a valuable reference for researchers navigating sensor integration challenges. Collectively, Kar's contributions address a critical bottleneck in soft robotics — reliable, unobtrusive sensing — positioning her as a promising voice in the next generation of intelligent robotic systems research.
