About

Neda Habibi is a leading researcher at the intersection of bio-inspired robotics and soft materials, with a primary focus on magnetic actuation strategies. Her most influential work, the 2020 paper "Magnetic Actuation Methods in Bio/Soft Robotics," has garnered over 330 citations, establishing her as a key voice in the field. In this comprehensive review, Habibi systematically analyzed electromagnetic-coil systems and moving permanent magnet setups, providing a critical framework for controlling soft and bio-robots across scales. Her contributions have directly advanced the design of untethered, wirelessly controlled devices for medical and environmental applications, where precise, non-contact manipulation is essential. Beyond this landmark paper, Habibi’s research continues to push boundaries in developing novel actuation mechanisms that merge material science with robotics. Her work not only synthesizes existing knowledge but also identifies future directions, making her a vital resource for students and researchers seeking to understand or innovate in magnetically driven soft robotics.
