About

Goran Gregov is a researcher at the forefront of soft robotics, with a focused expertise in the design and development of innovative, compliant actuators for rehabilitation and grasping applications. His major contributions lie in creating novel soft pneumatic actuator designs that leverage both positive and negative pressure to achieve complex, biomimetic motions. In his highly cited 2024 work, Gregov introduced a groundbreaking rehabilitation glove driven by soft pneumatic actuators, featuring an innovative finger actuator design derived from detailed kinematic and workspace analysis of the human hand. This work, with 5 citations, demonstrates a direct application of soft robotics to assistive technology. Building on this, his 2025 study (3 citations) presents a vacuum-driven soft bending actuator, a novel design that satisfies critical requirements for soft robotic grippers. By experimentally assessing and applying this vacuum-powered approach, Gregov is expanding the functional versatility of soft robots, enabling safer and more adaptable interactions in delicate manipulation tasks. His work is notable for bridging fundamental actuator design with tangible, real-world applications in rehabilitation and industrial gripping.
