ORION is a first-of-its-kind multi-robot system made up of a wheeled ground unit, miniature and wall-climbing robots to form a scalable swarming system similar to ant colonies.

SUTD, SUSTech and ZJU researchers’ proposed process flow guides 3D printing of miniature soft pneumatic actuators. Integrating the prints into a robotic system offers potential applications in jet-engine maintenance and minimally invasive surgery.

SUTD together with research collaborators provide much needed analysis and review of the emerging research on particle reinforced metal matrix nanocomposites with selective laser melting, charting out possibilities for engineering applications.

“By controlling the distance between the top and bottom substrates, we were able to precisely reduce the channel width up to around 30 microns.” said lead author Terry Ching, a graduate student from SUTD.

Researchers from SUTD’s Soft Fluidics Lab developed a novel 3D printing method to fabricate 3D porous models in one single step.

Team of SUTD researchers led by Assistant Professor Michinao Hashimoto has discovered an elegant way to achieve self-assembly of low density droplets in microfluidic flows using three dimensional (3D) microchannels.

SUTD researchers together with international researchers established a 3D technology map which systematically compares optical sensors.

The presented optical security devices have potential applications in deterring counterfeiting of important documents and packages of high-value medicines.
