About

Jayden Chapman is an emerging robotics researcher whose work sits at the intersection of soft robotics, dexterous manipulation, and human-machine interfaces. His research focuses on designing adaptive robotic hands and grippers, developing wearable sensing technologies, and enabling intuitive skill transfer between humans and robots. Chapman has made notable contributions to the field of soft robotic grasping, including a lightweight pneumatically actuated gripper capable of handling everyday objects without damage, and a reconfigurable robot hand combining anthropomorphic and interdigitated configurations for complex in-hand manipulation. His work on piezoresistive sensors—enabling proprioception, object classification, and curvature estimation in robot hands—has garnered 34 citations, reflecting strong community interest. Chapman has also advanced wearable human-machine interfaces, developing an open-source forcemyography armband that offers intuitive muscle-based control for prosthetic and robotic devices. His research on flexible flat cable manipulation addresses real-world industrial automation challenges. Across nine highly cited publications spanning 2020 to 2023, accumulating over 130 citations, Chapman has established himself as a versatile and impactful contributor to modern robotics, with implications for prosthetics, industrial automation, and collaborative human-robot systems.
