About
Harrison Low is a leading researcher in soft robotics, with a focus on bioinspired artificial muscles, wearable assistive devices, and medical robotics. His work centers on developing fluid-driven soft artificial muscles (SAMs) that mimic human musculature for applications ranging from surgical sutures to upper limb augmentation. Low’s major contributions include the invention of twisting and braiding techniques for soft muscle fibers, the design of miniature soft artificial muscle-driven exosuits (M-SAM), and the creation of smart surgical sutures that simplify wound closure in flexible endoscopy. His papers have garnered over 200 citations, with his most cited work, “Twisting and Braiding Fluid-Driven Soft Artificial Muscle Fibers for Robotic Applications,” receiving 51 citations. Notable achievements include the development of Bio-SHARPE, a bioinspired high-aspect-ratio pumping element, and a bidirectional soft robotic catheter for arrhythmia treatment. Low’s innovations address critical challenges in scalability, hysteresis, and safe human-machine interaction, positioning him as a key figure in translating soft robotics into practical medical and wearable technologies.
