About
Felipe Sanches is a robotics researcher whose work sits at the intersection of dexterous manipulation, human-robot interaction, and assistive technology. His key research areas include robotic grasping of flexible and delicate objects, semi-autonomous telemanipulation, and skill transfer from humans to robots. Sanches has made major contributions to the design of novel end-effectors, including a multi-modal gripper for handling flexible flat cables used in electronics assembly—a task that typically requires hours of repetitive, high-precision human labor. He also developed soft, disposable kirigami-based grippers for handling contaminated or everyday objects, and an adaptive, affordable arm-hand system for translating tactile American Sign Language, directly addressing communication barriers for the DeafBlind community. His work on electromyography-based motion decoding and potential fields for telemanipulation advances remote robotic control in hazardous environments. With several papers accumulating 5–8 citations each, Sanches’ research is gaining traction for its practical, human-centered approach. His scalable, intuitive skill transfer methods using wearable interfaces further demonstrate his commitment to making robotic systems accessible and effective in dynamic, real-world settings.
