About

Lina Sanchez Botero is a rising researcher in the field of soft robotics and wearable sensor technology, with a focus on advancing capacitive stretch sensors for large-deformation applications. Her key research areas include flexible electronics, sensor mechanics, and material optimization for soft robotic systems. Her most cited work, "Capacitive sensor measurement rate improves by pre-stretching" (2021, 3 citations), introduces a novel approach to overcoming a critical limitation in soft sensors: the trade-off between measurement rate and electrode resistance. By demonstrating that pre-stretching conductive composite electrodes can significantly enhance the sensor's measurement rate, Sanchez Botero provides a practical, low-cost solution for improving the responsiveness of soft robotic and wearable devices. This contribution is particularly valuable for applications requiring real-time, high-frequency sensing, such as prosthetic control and human-robot interaction. Although early in her career, her work addresses a fundamental bottleneck in the field, and her innovative approach has already garnered attention from researchers seeking to push the boundaries of soft sensor performance. Sanchez Botero’s research promises to accelerate the adoption of stretchable electronics in next-generation wearable and robotic systems.
