About

Dr. Mackenzie Cox is pioneering the future of tactile robotics with a focus on artificial skin technologies and magnetic inductance tomography. Their landmark work, "EM-Skin: An Artificial Robotic Skin Using Magnetic Inductance Tomography" (2023), has already garnered 11 citations, marking a significant early contribution to the field. This research addresses a critical challenge in robotics: enabling machines to sense physical touch with the robustness required for complex manipulation and safe human-robot interaction. By advancing inductive skin sensors, Dr. Cox is moving beyond traditional touch sensors toward more reliable, durable solutions. Their work sits at the intersection of soft robotics, sensor design, and electromagnetic imaging, offering a pathway to more intuitive and responsive artificial systems. As the demand for intelligent, physically-aware robots grows across manufacturing, healthcare, and service industries, Dr. Cox’s innovations in tactile sensing are poised to become foundational. For students and researchers exploring the frontier of robotic perception, Dr. Cox’s research represents a compelling blend of theoretical rigor and practical engineering, promising to reshape how machines understand and interact with the physical world.
