About
Megan Robinson is a researcher focused on the design and application of continuum robots for assistive technology. Her work centers on developing flexible, tendon-driven manipulators—like her prototype, Bendy ARM—to aid individuals with disabilities in performing daily activities. Robinson’s major contributions include pioneering user-centered testing of continuum manipulators in assistive contexts, demonstrating their potential through iterative rounds of evaluation. Her two most-cited papers, “User Testing of a Continuum Manipulator for Assistive Technology” (2018) and “Design and Preliminary Testing of a Continuum Assistive Robotic Manipulator” (2019), each have garnered 4 citations, reflecting early impact in this niche field. Notably, her research bridges soft robotics and human-robot interaction, offering a novel approach to accessible, teleoperated assistance. By prioritizing real-world user feedback, Robinson has laid groundwork for more intuitive and adaptable assistive devices, making her a promising voice in inclusive robotics.
