Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Mechanical engineering
  • Artificial intelligence
  • Composite material

Robert J. Wood mostly deals with Robot, Actuator, Mechanical engineering, Robotics and Artificial intelligence. His Robot study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Control engineering, Orders of magnitude, Hinge and Aerospace engineering. The concepts of his Actuator study are interwoven with issues in Mechanism, Structural engineering, Power electronics and Electromagnetic coil.

The various areas that Robert J. Wood examines in his Mechanical engineering study include Combustion, Battery, Soft robotics, Microelectromechanical systems and Electrical engineering. While the research belongs to areas of Robotics, Robert J. Wood spends his time largely on the problem of Biomimetics, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Flapping and Control theory. His Artificial intelligence research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Engineering ethics and Underpinning.

His most cited work include:

  • Embedded 3D Printing of Strain Sensors within Highly Stretchable Elastomers (838 citations)
  • An integrated design and fabrication strategy for entirely soft, autonomous robots (743 citations)
  • An integrated design and fabrication strategy for entirely soft, autonomous robots (743 citations)
