About
Aatha Mohin Shaikh is a rising researcher at the intersection of robotics, additive manufacturing, and embedded sensor systems. Her work focuses on the design and development of low-cost, 3D-printed robotic hands and fingers that integrate tactile and strain sensors directly into their structure. In her most-cited paper (2021, 9 citations), she presents a complete robotic hand fabricated using 3D printing technology, with embedded sensors for pressure and bending detection. Her earlier work (2020, 4 citations) introduces a simple, cost-effective robotic finger that uses a flexible piezoresistive polymer for tactile pressure sensing and a carbon-coated thread-based strain sensor to track finger bending. By embedding these sensors during the 3D printing process, Shaikh’s approach eliminates the need for post-assembly wiring and reduces manufacturing complexity. Her contributions are paving the way for more accessible, customizable, and sensor-rich prosthetic and robotic grippers. Though early in her career, her work demonstrates a clear commitment to democratizing robotic hardware through integrated design and fabrication, with potential applications in prosthetics, soft robotics, and human-robot interaction.
