About
Dr. Maria Lukic-Mann is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of advanced manufacturing and soft robotics. Her work centers on developing scalable, industrial-grade fabrication techniques for compliant robotic systems, with a particular focus on Aerosol Jet Printing (AJP). In her highly cited 2019 paper, "Aerosol Jet Printing for the Manufacture of Soft Robotic Devices," she demonstrated how AJP can overcome critical barriers in translating lab-based soft actuators and sensors into robust, repeatable manufacturing processes. This contribution, which has garnered 12 citations, addresses a pivotal challenge in the field: bridging the gap between proof-of-concept devices and commercial viability. Dr. Lukic-Mann’s research is notable for its emphasis on process control and material deposition precision, enabling the creation of multi-material, flexible circuits and pneumatic networks directly onto soft substrates. Her work has been recognized for its potential to revolutionize the production of wearable sensors, medical devices, and adaptive grippers, positioning her as a key figure in the future of automated soft robotic assembly.
