About

Huaishu Peng is a pioneering researcher in human-computer interaction and digital fabrication, with a focus on creating interactive systems that blend physical and digital worlds. His major contributions include the development of the Robotic Modeling Assistant (RoMA), an AR-driven fabrication system that enables real-time 3D printing alongside a designer’s creative process—a breakthrough cited over 166 times. Peng also introduced FabHydro, a low-cost method for printing interactive hydraulic devices using affordable SLA 3D printers, opening new avenues for rapid prototyping of soft, deformable objects. His work extends to on-body robotics with Calico, a miniature wearable robot system for precise locomotion and sensing on clothing, and he has explored the design of such robots for older adults, addressing critical needs in assistive technology. With over 200 total citations across his most-cited works, Peng’s research is notable for its hands-on, in-situ approach to fabrication and its emphasis on accessibility and real-world application. His achievements reflect a commitment to making advanced prototyping tools and interactive systems more intuitive and widely available.
