About

Mohit Makkar is a rising researcher in soft robotics and intelligent control systems, whose work bridges the gap between theoretical modeling and practical, compliant robotic hardware. His primary research focuses on the design, analysis, and control of soft pneumatic actuators, particularly for applications in robotic grippers and medical devices. Makkar’s major contributions include the experimental validation of soft bending actuators that offer safe, compliant interaction with delicate objects—a critical advancement for automation in healthcare and manufacturing. His most-cited paper, "Experimental Study of a Soft Pneumatic Actuator for the Application of Robotic Gripper" (2023, 8 citations), demonstrates the viability of pneumatic actuation for cleaner, safer operations. Complementing this, his work on "Bending analysis of a soft pneumatic actuator using analytical and numerical methods" (7 citations) provides essential modeling frameworks for predicting actuator behavior. Makkar also explores control theory, as seen in his bond graph model-based approach for wheeled mobile robots (3 citations), showcasing his versatility. With a growing citation footprint and a focus on real-world impact, Makkar is establishing himself as a key contributor to the future of soft, adaptive robotics.
