About

Caroline McCue is a leading researcher in the field of microrobotics, with a particular focus on multimaterial 3D printing and soft robotics. Her most cited work, "Multimaterial 3D Printing for Microrobotic Mechanisms" (2019, 57 citations), represents a significant breakthrough in fabricating tiny, complex robots that mimic the material diversity found in nature. McCue’s research addresses a critical challenge: how to create microrobots that combine rigid, structural components with soft, elastic materials, enabling them to navigate unpredictable, real-world environments with unprecedented agility and resilience. By pioneering advanced additive manufacturing techniques, she has opened new pathways for designing highly functional, bio-inspired microrobotic systems. Her contributions are not only advancing fundamental understanding of small-scale mechanics but also have practical implications for applications ranging from targeted drug delivery to environmental monitoring. With her work gaining increasing recognition, McCue is establishing herself as a key innovator at the intersection of materials science and robotics, inspiring a new generation of researchers to explore the possibilities of multimaterial design at the microscale.
