About

Carlo Gotti is an emerging researcher at the intersection of soft robotics, biomimetics, and tissue engineering, with a specialized focus on designing artificial muscle structures inspired by biological systems. His work centers on replicating the hierarchical fibrous architecture of skeletal muscles to develop next-generation soft actuators capable of matching the remarkable performance of natural muscular tissue. Gotti's most influential contribution, a 2020 review on hierarchical fibrous structures for muscle-inspired soft actuators (73 citations), established a comprehensive framework for understanding how nature's design principles can guide artificial muscle development. Complementing this, his experimental work on biomimetic nanofibrous structures (46 citations) demonstrated concrete progress toward replicating both the architecture and passive mechanical properties of skeletal muscle using electrospun fibers — a significant technical milestone in the field. More recently, Gotti has pushed boundaries further by addressing the critical challenge of integrating artificial muscles with robotic joints, developing bi-material electrospun junctions that mimic the natural muscle-tendon interface. Collectively accumulating over 130 citations, his research bridges fundamental biological understanding with practical engineering solutions, offering valuable insights for researchers working in soft robotics, prosthetics, and regenerative medicine.
